“What I want in a church is a place where we can reach out to one another no matter what we are facing. I also want a church that laughs together and loves each other. We all need to remember that Jesus came to give us life that is overflowing. Emmanuel is a loving church home that is willing to deal honestly with life’s issues. We also know that Jesus Christ will call us to a vital, new beginning.”
