Ministry Expansion Campaign
“You also, like living stones, are built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
How can you be a living stone for the kingdom of God under our roof and beyond our walls?
Under Our Roof, Beyond Our Walls Ministry Expansion Campaign is a 3-year commitment to give above our regular offerings. We are asking every member to commit dollars and hours to focus on strengthening the ministries at Immanuel -both those under our roof and beyond our walls.
Our goal with this campaign is to expand and grown the ministry we offer here at Immanuel in both the church and the School. This expansion will benefit our entire Immanuel Family with the following:
Dedicated Sanctuary with seating for 600
Designated outdoor worship space with partial shade
Narthex/event space with flexible seating for 400
Dedicated stages for praise band and choir
Increased school security and less outside traffic
Increased space for school events and performances
Sanctuary use on weekdays without interrupting school
Group meeting rooms to increase our community outreach
