Welcome to Immanuel
We are a community who seek to know Jesus Christ more fully and take bold steps to make him known.
Each Sunday we meet to worship together in both traditional and contemporary styles, hear the Word of God, and share in Holy Communion (Eucharist). During the week, we meet throughout Canberra in bible study groups, evangelistic missional communities and for social events.
You can learn more about our community and where you might fit in by exploring this site, contacting us, or joining us for Sunday worship.
