Join us as we grow during the green season of Ordinary Time.
God is calling Immanuel Baptist Church to practice the radical, compassionate discipleship taught by Jesus Christ.
All are welcome at Immanuel Baptist Church! We seek to grow in God’s love together without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, special needs, political viewpoints, or theological perspectives. We celebrate God’s gifts and value diversity.
Ordinary Time
Summer is ordinary time, not because it isn’t special, but rather (in liturgical thinking) summer is the world as it should be, a world without striving when food is plentiful, the harvest is continual, when days are long, and life is more relaxed: Summertime an’ the living is easy . . . so say Porgy and Bess.
Ordinary time is the period when we focus on growing in our relationship to Christ and the continuing verdant life of the church (thus the color for Ordinary Time is green). Life begins for creation in Genesis and then it begins again at Easter with the resurrected Lord in a garden. Ordinary time gives us the chance to frolic in the garden, to experience a bit of the good life in the here and now.
The mission of Immanuel Baptist Church is to share the good news of Jesus Christ, deepen our love for God and others, fully engage our neighbor, and wholeheartedly serve those on the margins of society.
We seek to live out the meaning of our name, Immanuel, “God with Us.”
