Florence, Alabama
Bible centered. Family integrated. Theologically reforming.
Emmanuel Baptist strives to be a Bible Centered, family-integrated, Theologically Reforming congregation here in North Alabama for the Glory of God.
Welcome
A Church with a Heart for Families
At Emmanuel, families worship together, not just on the same piece of property, but in the same service. Fathers lead in the home, ordained elders lead in the church, and together we sit under the sound preaching of God’s Word.
We are first Christians, second Bible believing, third family integrated, fourth reforming, fifth Baptist, and finally mission minded.
