MISSION STATEMENT: Immanuel is a Christian community in the Episcopal tradition, striving to be in relationship with God and each other as Christ has taught us, actively attempting to sense and to serve God’s plan with great love. We are guided by Mark 16:15: “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,” to learn, discern, and proclaim the Good News by being active ministers in the various communities where we live and serve.

A faith-based message on inclusion, equality, and justice for all.
The Christian Faith tells us that all people are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and calls us to love everyone as Jesus loved (John 13:34).
|
We respect the dignity of every human being, and we welcome all regardless of any category of humanity, such as ability, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, political party, etc.
We strive for a world where diversity, integration, and equality are valued, for an inclusive society that is fair, equitable, and just. We stand up for and support all dispossessed who need our help. |
We will rise up in the public square to proclaim the Gospel’s message of love and to take a stand against speech or actions that dehumanize any person or group, strike fear in people’s hearts, or diminish the health and livelihood of people around the world. We stand boldly against tyranny of speech or action.

Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill is blessed to be able to worship regularly in two different spaces: Zabriskie Chapel and Immanuel Chapel, located about a block apart. As an experiment, beginning Sunday October 5th ALL services on the first Sunday of each month (which are also youth-led Sundays) will be held at Zabriskie Chapel.
Other Sundays in the month, the location of worship services will remain at Zabriskie Chapel for 8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite I, and at Immanuel Chapel for 10:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite II. This experiment using the Zabriskie Chapel space more fully will last through the end of 2025.
