What We Value

At ILC We Value . . .

Church Family: Jesus calls us to live as a loving community. Immanuel will be a spiritual family where all people are connected to Jesus and to one another. As a community of believers we are always looking to strengthen the next generation in our church family. (1 Cor. 12-14, John 13:34-35)


Prayer: We understand that God longs to be in relationship with us, and prayer is our saying, “God we need you!” Prayer has a unique way of changing us as we trust in God. (James 5:16b, Acts 2:42)


Intentionally Sharing Jesus:
All people matter to Jesus, especially those who do not know His love for them. We are working towards the day when all who call Immanuel their church home, are intentionally living missional lives where we share our Savior with those we share life with. (Luke 5:30-32, Luke 15, Matt. 18:14)


Spiritual Growth in People:
We know that healthy things grow, therefore we devote ourselves to being disciples who keep growing in the grace, love, and truth of our Savior Jesus. Equipping people for continual growth is our goal in every believer’s life. (Eph. 4:11-13, Luke 2:52)


Excellence & Beauty:
We believe excellence honors God and inspires people. We have been blessed with beautiful gifts from previous generations, now we give our best to glorify our God and inspire others to see that which is most beautiful, Jesus. (Col. 3:17, Malachi 1:6-14)
