Prayer List

The most important thing we, as a family, can do for one another is to hold one another up in prayer. Please take a moment and visit our Prayer Request Page for our current Prayer List. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. —James 5:16

Music plays when you first enter the site. The music player is embedded in our weblog, the small popUp window that opens when the site loads. Player controls are in the upper right hand corner or, to turn music off, simply close the window. DVDs & CDs of worship services are available in the Media Room.

The Emmanuel Experience is our new broadcast 3:30 PM each Sunday on LeSea Broadcasting KWHSTV Broad-cast Channel 51. This dynamic outreach provides Emmanuel with an extended reach across the region in proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask all Emmanuel family and friends to pray for God's anointing on this vital outreach tool, and to support it by telling your family and friends to tune in. Media outreach, through broadcast and broadband (like our online ministry) creates opportunities to serve potentially millions of people who may never have the opportunity to worship with us within the walls of the church. For those beyond the reach of our local ministry, for the unchurched, the incarcerated, the sick and shut-in, the Emmanuel Experience is more than just a slogan. It is a call to action. Let us prayerfully unite in support of this latest expansion of this experience called Emmanuel.   CLICK TO VIEW PREVIEW ABOVE

Spirit of Cooperative Worship

This is essential as we receive visitors and new members at The E. Thanks for your help on last Sunday with not holding seats and using our coat racks. As we continue to grow, we will see more Sundays with increased worshippers and all are welcome!

An IMPORTANT Note About Parking

The Colorado Springs Police Department has notified EMBC that illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed. Cars parked too close to the corner not only block sidewalks but also introduce a safety hazard for the intersection. PLEASE park in the designated lots (Electrician’s Union and Health Department) and NOT in the restaurant’s lot!

The Emmanuel Experience

The worship experience should not begin and end on Sunday, but continue throughout the week in our daily lives. We worship God in the way we live (Psalms 19:14), in the things we do, and even in the things we choose not to do (James 1:19). The Emmanuel Experience is, therefore, not about the singing and the preaching and the fellowship so much but about our decision to live lives pleasing to God. It is about our love for one another (1 John 4:7) and about our patience with each other. We welcome you to experience the richness of God's love, and the new life that love can bring.
