The Episcopal Church.
Emanuel parish is part of the Episcopal Church, rooted in the teachings and love of Jesus Christ.
We believe in a loving, liberating, life-giving God who created and loves all that exists.
As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as Bishops, Priests, and Deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.
