Who We Are
-
We are faithful to the Scriptures as the true, powerful, and perfect Word of God. It has the power to change and renew us. Only the Scriptures carry the message of salvation and redemption, and so trust them completely.
-
We are engaged together as a church and with the community. The Apostle Paul calls us to participate with one another in our daily lives as we strive to follow Jesus and live out the Gospel with one another and the community.
-
We are present in the midst of High Point. We long to minister to the hurting and lost, as well as believers who need to be reminded of the promises of God presented throughout His Word. Immanuel longs to be a partner in helping High Point flourish. We believe the Lord has called us to this place to serve it, just as the prophet Jeremiah told God’s people to build their houses and seek the welfare of the city they were in.
