Immanuel is known for its sweet spirit of fellowship among members and for its willingness to reach out to others in the name of Christ. The pastor will lead a bi-vocational and part-time staff of 3 along with volunteers. The church would like the pastor to keep regular office hours that can be negotiated. A seminary degree is preferred but not required. Immanuel has supported past pastors as much as possible in their pursuit of educational goals. The church currently has services on Sunday morning, Sunday evening and Wednesday night.
