Welcome to Emmanuel United Methodist Church

Emmanuel is a bridge community of faith over which people are invited to Christ and His church to experience His love, forgiveness and healing.

We see ourselves as a bridge church between different segments of the community and between different religious and worship experiences in the Christian context.

We are a church with multi-generational members, some with ties that date to the building of this church.



La Iglesia Metodista Unida Emmanuel es una comunidad de fe, y por eso un Puente sobre el cual personas son invitadas a Cristo y a Su Iglesia, para experimentar Su amor, Su perdón, y sanidad y donde pueden crecer a Su semejanza para server y compartir a El con otros. Somos llamados a hacer discípulos y discipuladores. El corazón de nuestro ministerio es la oración, el discipular, y el alcance como siervos.
