We Worship the Lord

We Serve the Lord

We Learn of the Lord

We Love the Lord

Worship services at Emmanuel are characterized by reverence for the
Lord and love for the people of the
Lord. Our most common Sunday
service is called The Holy Eucharist,
which means Thanksgiving.  We
gather in the Lord's Name to sing
his praise, hear his Word in Holy
Scripture, offer our prayers, share
the Lord's Peace, and receive Holy Communion. Worship continues as
we are sent back out into daily life
to bear witness to the Lord in
thought, word, and deed.

We believe serving the Lord is
essential to our lives as Christians,
and so the church helps us connect
with ministries that bring the love
of Christ to our neighbors by serving
them in time of need, and
also with ministries that help support
the life and ministry of the church.

Growing in relationship with
the Lord is a lifetime journey,
and there is always something new
to learn along the way.
Emmanuel offers learning
opportunities for all ages,with
groups that meet on Sunday
mornings, others during the week,
and still others that meet for a
certain church season
or other short-term period of time.

We share the love of the Lord with
events that bring us together for
conversation, sharing, and just to enjoy being together. Our sharing in the love
of the Lord also includes ministries of pastoral care where we celebrate times
of joy and offer support in times of
sorrow.

The Episcopal Church USA

 The Diocese of Northwest Texas

The Anglican Communion

We are part of
The Episcopal Church,
established in 1789.
During the American
Colonial period we were
part of The Church of
England, but after the
American Revolution
that really wasn't possible
any longer. The name
Episcopal means 'having
bishops'. Bishops are
important in our
church life. The bishop is
the chief pastor of a 
geographical territory
called a diocese.

Emmanuel is in
the Diocese of Northwest Texas,
which goes from San Angelo
in the south
all the way up into
the Texas Panhandle. 
Our Bishop is Scott Mayer,
and our diocesan
center is in Lubbock.

All of Episcopalians are part of

a global family of Churches

called the Anglican Communion.

We are all bound together

by our common

heritage in, and

continuing fellowship with,

the Church of England.
