"The Reformation is the legitimate offspring, the greatest act of the Catholic Church."
--Philip Schaff
Worship
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.(Hebrews 12:22-24)
Each week God calls us to his heavenly courts to worship Him. He calls us to cleanse us, to teach us, to feed us, and to recreate us. The Bible teaches us that worship is to be centered on the word of God. Our worship at Immanuel seeks to image this, as we sing God's word in the Psalms, we hear God's word in the reading and preaching of Scripture, and we eat God's word in the Lord's Supper each week.

Our Beliefs
Immanuel is a Reformed Church: We are the spiritual heirs of Martin Luther, John Calvin and Thomas Cranmer. Affirming salvation by God’s grace, the sufficiency of God’s Word, and the efficacy of God’s sacraments, Immanuel seeks to embody this historic faith in the modern world.
Immanuel is an Evangelical Church: We believe that the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. This occurs through the proper reading and teaching of the whole counsel of the Bible.
Immanuel is a Catholic Church: We believe the ancient confessions of the Church, adhering to the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds. Our liturgy also seeks to worship God in historic beauty and song.

Immanuel officially subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms
