Emmanuel – An Alternative

 

ALTERNATIVE  CHURCH?

 

 

  • Liturgical and Charismatic - We belong to the Communion of Convergence Churches USA. http://www.thecccusa.com/; http://www.cccusa-incarnation.org/   “The mission of the Communion of Convergence Churches USA is the apostolic empowerment of God’s people for service through convergence of Scripture, Spirit and Sacrament to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.”

Our services are guided – not ruled – by The Book of Common Prayer. We strive to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and recognize His direction at all times during the service.

 

  •          Restoring the Concept of “Sanctuary” – Come and rest and feel at home and at peace in the presence of God. He longs to meet with us, to comfort and restore us as welcome Him and wait upon Him in His sanctuary.

 

  •          Saturday Evening Services – Many people do not have the opportunity to attend Sunday services or  may simply want to have a real day off from their busy lives. We feel God has called Emmanuel Fellowship to help meet those needs.

 

  •           Relationship Based - Our goal is to encourage the strengthening of relationships: relationship with our heavenly Father, relationships with fellow Christians and relationships with non-believers.

 

  •          Weekly Food and Fellowship – In order to help build relationships within our local body, we have a time of food and fellowship after every Saturday evening service. It is an enjoyable time of conversation, laughter and relaxation.

 

  •          Casual Dress – We encourage people to come and worship with us “just as they are.” It is our hope that no one would ever feel they could not attend a service because they were not dressed well enough or did not have clothing that they felt would be appropriate.

 

  •          Community Awareness – We seek to be aware of needs in our local community and in the world around us. We may be small in number, however, we consistently contribute to the Caring Place, to missions projects lead by Keith Street Ministries as well as international agencies.

    Emmanuel Fellowship is a wonderful group of believers. Father Mitch and Luwanna are a blessing to Cleveland. If you are single, there is no reason to be lonely. If your looking for a place to connect on Saturday Evening then consider coming and being a part of the Emmanual Fellowship. You will be fed spiritually and physically.

    Fr. Mitch,

    Are you still with Bishop Coleman or are you with Abp. Daniel Williams?
    Just wondering. My wife use to work for Abp. Williams in the missions organization he began years ago.

    God’s favor,
    Fr. Joe Butler+

    My family and i are looking for something new, to branch away from my fathers ways and seek a place that fits our belief system with the pressure of others upon us. I am hoping to visit you church soon. From what I have seen I am very interested to worship with you.
