Emmanuel is an Episcopal Church, and as such is deeply rooted in a tradition of prayer, theological exploration, and joyful, affirming worship and outreach. We believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are part of a global communion of churches, something much bigger than just ourselves. We are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest communion of Christians in the world, after the Roman and Orthodox Communions.

We believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We believe in love. We have a legacy of inclusion, showing forth forth God’s love for every human being. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

We believe that God loves you--no exceptions.
