Emmanuel United Church of Christ
We are a church known for our welcoming spirit, greeting people as if they have always been here, inviting the community to participate in the life of the church, and celebrating our belief that “God is still speaking.” We have a passion for God and compassion for all people.
WELCOME!
Rev. George Miller, Pastor
When you come to Emmanuel U.C.C. to worship, you enter into a unique church in Central Florida. We are a diverse congregation, made up of folk from all walks of life, who have gathered to praise God, be the hands of Christ, and seek the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Our worship style may be traditional, but our theology is timeless. We are not here to get answers, but to be comfortable with the questions. We are here to share the gift of welcoming fellowship and to work side by side. We are here to find our own way to act justly, be kind, and to walk humbly with the Lord. We are Emmanuel United Church of Christ.
PASTOR'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Keeping our congregation and visitors safe is our number one priority.
Here at Emmanuel U.C.C. we start each service by saying "We have a passion for God and compassion for all." During this time of the Corona outbreak, we are showing our passion by posting our inspiring worship services online and continuing to provide The Shepherd's Pantry ministry for as long as we can. We are showing our compassion by not putting people at risk, which means that until further notice, worship will only involve the worship leaders, and The Shepherd's Pantry will provide care via a drive through that takes every safety precaution. We love God and we love YOU and will do all we can to still share our passion and compassion with all.
Faithfully,
Rev. George Miller, Pastor
