FOUNDATIONS
Christians in the New Testament enjoyed community
They cared for each other, encouraged each other, prayed together, supported one another, and served Jesus and His church together. They did the Christian life together—growing in God’s word, building healthy relationships, and loving one another.
F1: Discovery
Discover the Gospel. Discover Emmanuel.
Discovery is the starting point for anyone who is new to the gospel or new to Emmanuel. This class offers a welcoming space to ask questions, explore foundational truths, and learn what it means to belong to the church family. Through Discovery, we hope to provide a solid foundation for your faith and a place to grow in biblical community.
F2: Journey
Enjoy a Personal Relationship with God.
Journey invites you to embark on a personal adventure with God, where the goal is a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. In this class, we’ll explore the foundational truth that a relationship with God is not static but ongoing, dynamic, and ever-developing. Through Journey, we hope to lay a solid foundation for you to draw nearer, trust more deeply, and experience God’s love and grace in real, tangible ways.
F3: Identity
Embrace a Gospel Identity.
Identity explores the defining differences between modern, traditional, and Gospel-shaped identities. This class examines how modern identity emphasizes self-expression, traditional identity emphasizes external roles and expectations, and how both fall short of providing lasting security and purpose. Through Identity, our goal is to lay a solid foundation for you to embrace your Gospel identity which will allow you to live with security, purpose, and joy, even in life’s hardest moments.
F4: Story
Grasp God’s Redemptive Narrative from Genesis to Revelation.
Story is an exploration through the Bible’s grand narrative, showing how all of Scripture points to Jesus through a unified, redemptive story. In this class, we’ll explore how the Bible is not just a collection of separate stories, but a single, unfolding narrative of God’s plan to restore and redeem humanity through His Son.Through Story, we hope to lay a strong foundation on your understanding of the Scriptures, which will inspire you to live with hope and purpose as a part of God’s redemptive work in the world.
