We are an affirming church. What does that mean?
The unity of believers in Christ is reflected in the rich diversity of the Church’s membership. In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, God unites persons through baptism, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, geography, or theological conviction. There is therefore no place in the life of the Church for discrimination against any person. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) shall guarantee full participation and representation in its worship, governance, and emerging life to all persons or groups within its membership. No member shall be denied participation or representation for any reason other than those stated in this Constitution.
(from the PCUSA Book of Order)
Emmanuel is a safe place. Glad you are here.
The sanctuary art and decor are matched to the current Sermon Series and generally all the works are meant to connect with the message. The document "Sermon and Sanctuary" connects these dots for you so that your worship experience can be enhanced visually.
