“ In a world of isolation, anonymity, and keyboard-warriors, Alpha offers content and guidance for churches, ministries, and individuals to create a space for honest and open conversations about life’s biggest questions. Everyone is welcome and no questions are off limits.”
Alpha is an amazing discipleship course that runs 11 weeks. We look to host it yearly at Emmanuel, sometimes in collaboration with other groups. Click “Learn More” to find out more information about Alpha, and stay tuned to our newsletter for the schedule.

At Emmanuel, we recognize our tithe as the beginning of generosity. Grow with us! When we really think about it, God’s request for simply 10% of what we earn is quite generous, as we believe it is all God’s anyway
