Our Mission: Emmanuel Episcopal Church is a dynamic and diverse
community welcoming all people to learn about, experience, and
share with others the life-changing power of Jesus Christ so that
we can do the work He has given us to do in Rockford, the Nation,
and the World.
Founded in 1849,
Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in downtown Rockford. There are many opportunities to worship and
enjoy fellowship here at Emmanuel. Please join us at any of our

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is affiliated with
the Worldwide Anglican Communion
www.anglicancommunion.org, the
Episcopal Church U.S.A.
www.ecusa.anglican.org, and the
Episcopal Diocese of Chicago
www.episcopalchicago.org/. We claim to
be both Catholic (true to the historic Christian faith) and
Protestant (truly reformed and evangelical.) We require no
confession of Faith, except the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, which
we share with many other Christian bodies. The Holy Eucharist,
also known as the Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, is our
central act of worship. All persons of any denomination or age are
welcome to receive Holy Communion at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.
