Southern Baptists believe that the Bible is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind, with His ultimate revelation being the Gospel message of redemption through Jesus Christ. For that reason, Southern Baptists have summarized their biblical convictions in a statement of faith called The Baptist Faith and Message. Southern Baptists are not a creedal people, requiring churches or individuals to embrace a standardized set of beliefs; but we are a confessional people. The BF&M represents the confessional consensus of “certain definite doctrines that Baptists believe, cherish, and with which they have been and are now closely identified.”
The gospel is the good news that God loves each of us and accepts us because Jesus came and lived, died,and rose from the dead. Because Jesus was resurrected physically we do not need to fear death. The good news is that we will continue in our spiritual relationship with God in his presence after dying until our body becomes like Jesus' in the end time. Sharing this good news is the most loving thing we can do for others.
Immanuel Baptist Church - God with us...serving God, loving people, sharing the gospel.
Jesus agreed that the two most important commandments were to love the LORD and then to love our neighbors.
Serving God begins with personal and community worship. In response to this, loving neighbors in practical ways includes sharing the good news of salvation.
Who is my neighbor? was asked of Jesus. Immanuel knows that the answer is all others God loves. We love them by cooperating to send missionaries to state, national, and worldwide sites. Our offerings also go to staff and supply emergency disaster teams and educate future leaders. Groups within our congregation also lead in support
to the House of Hope and Operation Christmas Child.

Immanuel Baptist Church was founded in 1995 by a group of community members who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping homeless individuals. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year.
