Ministries
Home Fellowship Groups
Home Fellowship Groups are probably the single best way to connect at Emmanuel.
We meet in apartments throughout the city for friendship, worship, Bible study and prayer, and these communities become the most common places where we care for one another, serve together, and deepen relationships within the church.
Mercy Team
Emmanuel’s Mercy Team is a group of church leaders who attend to practical needs within the Emmanuel family and mobilize the congregation to address broader issues in our surrounding neighborhoods. Anyone who is part of our church community and facing difficulties can contact the Mercy Team for practical help.
The Mercy Team also coordinates volunteer efforts and provides grants that support partner organizations that serve the poor. We are currently working with The Bowery Women’s Center in Harlem, Young Life Harlem, Metro World Child, Safe Families for Children, Do For One, and Open Hands Legal Services.
Missions committee
Our committee supports a number of missionaries with prayer, encouragement, and finances. The committee exists to heighten awareness of Jesus Christ’s heart for the world and to equip our congregation to participate in mission.
To support current missionaries through prayer, financial giving and encouragement contact missions@emmanuelnyc.org.
Meals Ministry
Volunteers who cook, send or deliver food to anyone in our church family who is in need of a meal (new moms, grieving families, members suffering from illness, etc).
Contact us if you are in need of meals or if you would like to provide meals for our community members at alexa@emmanuelnyc.org.
neighborhood Literacy program
Emmanuel partners to help young children with basic literacy skills at the Grant Houses (123-125 streets). This year, dates are divided into semester blocks. Sign up to indicate the dates you are available to serve. The program is from 10:45am-1pm. Volunteers arrive by 10am to help with setup. Curriculum and support provided. No experience with teaching is necessary. Contact jane@emmanuelnyc.org with questions.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is available from any of our pastors or elders. Members have designated elders who will reach out to them through out the year to provide care. Anyone should feel free to reach out to our pastors.
