Worship at Immanuel is the common ground where all types and ages of the church come together to meet God. Worship is communion with God in which believers center their minds attention and their hearts affection on the Lord. As we sing, pray, listen to the preaching of God's Word, commit ourselves and give, we have opportunity to commune with God. The Music and Worship Ministry seeks to use music and the related arts to lead the church into an ever deepening relationship with Christ.

Because of Immanuel's diversity in backgrounds and ages, our worship life is characterized by a great deal of variety. Almost every service will include traditional hymns as well as more recent praise choruses. The sounds of the Schantz Pipe organ will rise along with the piano, orchestra, drums and guitars. Drama, banners and multi-media technologies are also used to bring fresh revelation of the Word and a personal encounter with Christ.

Every child, woman and man participates in the Music and Worship Ministry through our gatherings for corporate worship. God has gifted literally hundreds of individuals to sing, play instruments, operate cameras, present drama, create banners and on and on... Listed below are some of the opportunities provided through the Music and Worship Ministry for individuals to use and develop these gifts to build up the body of Christ.
