Souper Sundays

"Souper Sundays" is a community soup kitchen hosted by Immanuel every Sunday at 4:30. Immanuel, in partnership with other faith groups, provides not just soup, but a tasty, nutritious hot meal for anyone in need.  Thousands have been fed in this ministry which is in its 4th year!

 

Stephen's Ministry

At its heart, Stephen Ministry is distinctively Christian caring following the example of Jesus to “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”(Galatians 6:2). Our trained Stephen Ministers walk alongside someone experiencing a difficult time in their life. They listen, care and, most importantly, bring the stability of Jesus’ love and grace into people’s lives. If you would like a Stephen Minister to walk with you on your journey to wholeness, contact our Stephen Ministry Leaders, Deacon Cheryl Gundersdorff or David Hakala.

 

Bridge Ministry for the Homeless

Immanuel is a major contributor to the work of what is known as the “Bridge Ministry.”  Under the leadership of Pastor Jerry Herald, thousands are fed, connections are made, and the homeless are given hope.  This is a meaningful way to be involved with following Jesus’ message in Matthew 25: “'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' Matt 25:40

 

Real Life Children's Ranch

Immanuel heavily supports the ministry of Real Life Children’s Ranch in Okeechobee, Florida.  They are a refuge for children who have been removed from their homes for their own safety.  The Ranch provides warm, loving, and Christian family-style living for these children.  As Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes the littlest of these, welcomes me!”
