Community Life is not another ministry program to add to your already overcrowded schedule. Instead, it is a way of life that combines a multiplicity of "life circles" into one simple and seamless circle full of life, ministry and authentic relationships. In other words, Community Life happens right where you live!

Community Life is less about exclusively Christian relationships that occur on the church campus and more about a blend of relationships that occur minutes from your front door. The Immanuel campus is the place where we "train on the corner to reach the community for Christ." The neighborhood is where we begin living out our faith.

What is Community Life? It's a place to belong, believe, become and go beyond!

A Place to Belong
In a world where real friendships and connected relationships are hard to find, IBC Communities provide a fresh alternative to isolation and loneliness, which are common experiences in our culture. God created us for community, with a desire to belong.

The truth is we need each other. We need the person next door and they need us. God created us to relate to different people in a variety of settings, from those in our family to the stylist who cuts our hair.

A Place to Believe
IBC communities are safe places for you to explore your spiritual questions, discover Jesus, and begin your relationship with Him. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome in our community of faith. Come and explore with us!

A Place to Become
Our desire is to become more like Jesus. We believe God designed us so that life transformation happens best within the context of community. We grow and experience the fullness of Christ by doing life together with others who passionately run after God.

Spiritual formation takes place in cooperation with the Holy Spirit. Inside Community Life you will find small group Bible studies for men, women, couples and students, seminars and classes, fellowship gatherings, recreational opportunities, service and compassion projects, mission trips, and more. And it's all happening near where you live!

Of course the body of Christ at Immanuel gathers every weekend for dynamic corporate worship and the preaching of God's holy word.

A Place to Go Beyond!
As a missional community of Christ followers, our goal is to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations while living out the Great Commandment by loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind, and our neighbor as our self.
