Our purpose is to please and obey our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ by fulfilling our part in the "Great Commission" that He gave us to do:
1 "go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
By our desire to please our Lord we hope to be a church who will, 2"make ready a people prepared for the Lord"
1 Matthew 28:19-20
2 Luke 1:17
Our Vision Statement
To fulfill God’s vision for us as His people in Christ Jesus. The Holy Scriptures say that 1"God’s ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher that our thoughts." They also say that until the return of Christ we only 2"know in part."
This being true, we can safely say that our vision is limited compared to God’s. Therefore what we envision is open to and subjected to His greater adjustment.
By faith, we believe that Immanuel Celebration Church has been called to, but not limited to, the following tasks:

To open the doors of our church and the doors of our 3 hearts to assure that our church family is a reflection our community with which in it resides. This would include people of various social standings, the young and elder, and those of different racial backgrounds. This diverse people would stand united as a family of believers with their common ground being:
· Each member's love for their Father in
heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ,
