Our Story

You know who made the biggest impact on my life? It was the people who invested their time with me, developing a true relational context that grew into lifelong ministry growth. Iron sharpened iron, and ideas and resources were shared to make be better as a ministry leader. However, the most significant quality I felt from them was their genuine care about me and my future.

This is what we want to see happen through Emmanuel Family of Churches.  We are not looking to be the only source but desire to be a safe place where many great leaders can speak into each other’s lives and ministries.

We are building an environment that makes room for relationships and connection with like-minded pastors to support each other along the way.

Some of the ways we will do this is through monthly, online, cohort sessions; all staff roundtables; and yearly prayer retreats. Consider becoming an Affiliate member to access these resources or check us out as a collaborative church at our events to see if this is fit for you.
