Purpose & Mission

Immanuel Presbyterian Church

What We Believe

Our name, Immanuel, means "God with us." Christian faith is a grace-filled way of life. It calls us to remember that we're created in teh image of God. It centers in Jesus Christ. It reaches in reconciliation to those trapped in despair, resignation, and conformity.

Immanuel joyfully calls all people to God through Jesus Christ in worship, service and growth.

Our Purpose at Immanuel

We are a community of faith, hope, love - and joy! While we're mostly business and professinal people and their families, we are diverse in our life situations. Yet we've been given a common purpose in the world: to make friends for God in the name of Jesus Christ. We seek to do this in three ways:

Offer a friendly, caring place for our Clifton neighbors to call their spiritual home.
Provide an opportunity for them to worship God with their families.
Invite them to join us in the service of others near and far as part of our witness to God's love.
