Welcome

Welcome to Emmanuel Episcopal Church.  Emmanuel is an open Christian community, dedicated to learning and worship in the Episcopal tradition. A major part of Emmanuel's identity is centered in our commitment to outreach in our downtown Rockford setting.

Shelter Care Ministries, an outreach of Emmanuel Church, serves homeless families and people living with mental illness.  To learn more about this ministry, please use the tab in the left column.

Emmanuel, with its three neighbor churches, is a founding member of Jeremiah Development.  This is a new organization dedicated to the well-being of our neighborhood.

There are many opportunities for adults, youth and children to worship and enjoy fellowship here at Emmanuel. For service times, for a list of upcoming events, and to learn more about us or contact us, please use the tabs.
