Immanuel Bible Church
This church recognizes Christ as its Head and the Scriptures
as its only authority (Colossians 1:18, 2 Timothy 3:16). Under
that authority, the oversight of this church is vested in a body
of elders who operate in concert with the deacons and the congregation.
The members of Immanuel Bible Church constitute the congregation.
The congregation will vote on elder recommendations to approve
all pastors, elders, and deacons; to approve the budget and the
purchase, conveyance, exchange, lease, mortgage, encumbrance,
or sale of real property; to amend the constitution, the church
covenant, or the statement of faith; or to dissolve the church.
The elders are responsible to guard the purity of church doctrine,
to shepherd the flock, and to oversee church matters. The elders
will ensure that the truths of the Bible are accurately taught
and applied.
The elders will minister to the needs of individuals and families through personal
visitation, counseling, leading by example, teaching, discipline and restoration,
and the general oversight of all church ministries.
The elders will oversee all church matters. To read more about our organization,
