Emmanuel Lutheran Church, North York, ON

OUR VISION STATEMENT To bring people to Jesus and membership in His family, develop them to Christlike maturity, and equip them for their ministry in the church, and life mission in the world, in order to magnify Christ’s name. 10 VALUES OF OUR CHURCH 1. We teach God’s Word in the knowledge that it brings forth changes in individual’s lives and in the church. Lost people (people who do not have a personal, ongoing, and loving relationship with God and with His Son Jesus Christ) matter to God, and therefore, matter to us. We strive to be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure. As followers of Jesus Christ we believe we should manifest authenticity and yearn for continuous growth. We operate as a unified community of servants with men and women stewarding their spiritual gifts. Loving relationships permeate every aspect of our life together. Life-changing happens best in the small groups we offer where growth, fellowship, and sharing take place in an informal setting. We strive for excellence because it honors God and inspires people. Our church is led by men and women with leadership gifts. It is our understanding that the pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.
