Mission of Immanuel Congregation

Immanuel Hillside exists as a congregation of Christian Believers:
 
To tell people who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, the good news of Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:8)
 
To assist people who know Jesus as Lord and Savior to grow in knowledge and understanding of the saving faith so they are prepared to minister and serve the family of believers and their neighbors.
 
The Commands of Jesus Are:
 
To Share the Good News of Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:8, Matt 28:18-20)
 
To Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind (Mt22:37)
 
To Love your neighbor as yourself (Mt22:39)
 
All that we as a gathering of believers do shall be in accordance with these purposes and commands.

Guiding Principles for Immanuel

 The Holy Bible is the rule, norm and source of our faith.
 
The Bible is God’s true Word, it is without fault or contradiction.
 
The Bible shows us our sins and shows there are consequences of our sins.
 
The Bible shows us God’s forgiveness in Jesus Christ and how we are restored into a right relationship with God through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
 
The Bible shows us that there is only one true God, who manifests himself in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
 
The Bible shows us that there is only one way to salvation and eternal life and that is through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
 
We accept the Sacrament of Holy Baptism as a means of grace and that the Holy Spirit comes to reside in the baptized person.
 
We accept the Sacrament of Holy Communion as a means of grace whereby we are assured of the forgiveness of our sins, promised eternal life and strengthened in our faith. We believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in communion in, with and under the bread and the wine.
 
We accept the common statements of belief, known as the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed.
 
We find that the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church are a true exposition of Biblical Truth and so we walk together with the congregations of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
