Although most of our mercy takes place organically as relationships grow and develop, we also have formally organized mercy ministries.

    Member Care

    Acts 5:32-35 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

    Immanuel strives to wisely and generously follow the example of the early church in being willing to part with any material position in order to meet the needs of one of our members. A generous church is a healthy church, however, according to II Thessalonians 3:10, a generous church must also be a wise church in not encouraging laziness and a lack of self-discipline.

    Immanuel's Member Care ministry takes on a number of different characteristics and is played out in a thousand different ways. It may look like a sign-up sheet in the back for parents with a newborn. It may look like a care group visiting an elderly shut-in in order to mow and weed her lawn. It may look like inviting a recovering addict into a home to live for a few months until work is found. The needs are endless, but our Savior's grace surpasses any physical needs that may appear.
