Community

At Emmanuel, we believe life with Jesus is meant to be lived together—in relationships that are Christ-centered, honest, and rooted in God’s Word. But finding your people isn’t always easy.

That’s why we’re committed to helping you find and grow in Christ-centered community—where discipleship takes root and faith comes to life.

Your people are closer than you think.

re:generation

We all experience brokenness. Whether it’s anxiety, anger, addiction, control, or something harder to name, most of us carry things that weigh us down and hold us back. It’s easy to feel stuck—but you don’t have to stay there.

That’s why we offer re:generation—a Christ-centered, biblically-based 12-step discipleship program that helps you move toward Jesus and away from the things that have held your heart captive.

There’s hope. And there’s a next step.
