Emmanuel is a thriving gathering of people joyfully committed to Jesus Christ.

In addition to lively Gospel preaching, stirring music, Christ-centered Scripture-based learning, and a relaxed blended worship style, Emmanuel is known for its high-quality preschool (in operation for over 40 years), ministry to kids, opportunities for youth, participation in a local Community Meals program and an "open-door" policy which makes it a frequent meeting place for groups within the neighborhood.

Emmanuel is located at 360 Princeton (at Garford) in the intimate “Eastern Heights” section of Elyria, one block east and three blocks south of University Hospitals - Elyria Medical Center.

Like the community we serve, we are “mid-sized” (about 400 baptized) and have a welcoming mix of young, mature, and old individuals and families. As one person put it: “Emmanuel is small enough to know people by their names and yet large enough to always be meeting someone new.”
