Principles & Practices
Robust & Reverent Worship
Sunday Worship is central to the life and ministry of our church. In worship, we draw near God the Father through his only-begotten Son, the Lord Jesus our Savior, to offer a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and to receive and enjoy the gifts and blessings of the covenant. We believe that through worship on Sunday, God shapes and prepares us to live faithfully before him through the rest of the week. Our weekly worship service includes the reading and preaching of Holy Scripture, the offering of our prayers, the singing of Psalms and hymns, and the celebration of the Lord’s Table. For more information on worship at Emmanuel Chapel, please see our Worship Page.
Expository Preaching
We are committed to a preaching and teaching ministry that faithfully proclaims and applies “the whole counsel of God” to the hearts and lives of God’s people.
Biblical Families
The family is fundamental to the well-being of both church and society. It is our desire to see families that are founded upon and grounded in the teaching of God’s Word. Therefore, an important part of our ministry is to assist and equip parents for spiritual leadership in the home.
Church Community
We want our church community to manifest the life and joy of the Kingdom of God. Accordingly, we place an emphasis on celebration and feasting, fellowship and hospitality, and Christ-centered service.
Christ’s Lordship & the Cultural Mandate
The Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’ ” Jesus Christ is Lord, and we believe that His lordship extends to every sphere of life, including family, the workplace, education, culture, and politics. All of life is to be pursued to the glory of Christ and in obedience to His Word.
