Ministry Plan
Emmanuel Baptist Church // 2026–27
Dear Emmanuel Family and Friends,
I hope you have a blessed Summer! It is a great joy and privilege to partner with you in serving Jesus!
God gave us a wonderful fiscal year of ministry! Many came to Christ. Many were added to our church family. Many are being discipled in following Jesus. Many are being touched all over the world through the ministry that flows from Emmanuel. Your faithful and generous investment in Jesus’ Kingdom is bearing eternal fruit.
This year’s ministry plan represents hundreds of hours of prayer, planning, and consultation. Our process is robust, and our advisors are very skilled and wise. This plan involves the work of about three dozen gifted and devoted people over several months, and it represents the unified hearts of all of our pastors, deacons, finance team, and independent CPA/consulting firm. We believe this plan honors Jesus in mission, expresses faith, and demonstrates great fiscal responsibility in wise stewardship.
This plan is our best attempt to earnestly and prayerfully press forward in passionate gospel ministry. We celebrate the many ways God is active in our church and our lives.
The purpose of Emmanuel is to “Love God, Grow Together, and Serve Others.” The graphic below shows our annual budget through the lens of our purposes. Our collective giving flows directly into Kingdom initiatives, healthy church ministry, and mission.
Thank you for your faithful generosity to the Kingdom of Jesus through Emmanuel. We are grateful for your investment, and we steward your gifts very soberly. I pray often that God will financially bless and increase our church families so that they might willingly and generously bless His gospel purposes through Emmanuel!

Our Ministry Theme Verse
“Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;”
—Philippians 1:27
