About Us

A Message from Pastor Ogle

I would love to invite you to Emmanuel Baptist Church. You can expect to hear the Bible preached and taught here. We believe the Bible is God’s inspired Word, and our job is to make its message known to all people. We want Christ to be honored in our music, our worship, our relationship to the community, and all that we do. We strive to have a balanced ministry with an emphasis on evangelism and Bible teaching, both at home and abroad. We offer active programs for children and teens with solid Biblical content at every level.

While we are always happy to welcome new members, church membership is not most important. In fact, church membership, baptism, and communion are not valid experiences until one accepts Jesus Christ as his own personal Savior. If you have questions about where you will spend eternity, you can read God’s plan of salvation or contact us with your questions. We would love to help you become part of God’s family!

Jim Ogle,
Pastor

Our Philosophy of Ministry

Many modern churches minimize preaching, often substituting drama, videos, and other types of entertainment for the old-fashioned preaching of the Word of God. At Emmanuel, we see things differently. We are told in I Corinthians 1:18 that, “The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” Therefore, preaching is central at Emmanuel.

The Christ-honoring music at Emmanuel prepares our hearts for preaching, but it cannot replace preaching. Believing that the Bible is designed to address the practical issues of life, we trust the Bible to do its work in the lives of all who attend our services. Thus, the most utilized preaching style here is the expository method. People who faithfully attend can hear books of the Bible taught and preached from beginning to end to greatly increase their knowledge of God and His Word. There is a legitimate place for thoroughly prepared topical preaching, but we believe that the focus ought to be expository preaching.
