Emmanuel Church is an evangelical church. Here are three values which underpin what we are about and which spell out our agenda as an evangelical church.

• the means of gospel ministry is the prayerful teaching of the Bible (in other words, it is as the Bible is taught in the power of the Spirit that God’s voice is heard).
• the heart of gospel ministry is the proclamation of Christ crucified (because the message of the cross is God’s way of saving people from his coming wrath).
• the focus for gospel ministry is the local church (believing that it is primarily through the local church that unbelievers are brought to faith in Christ and believers are built up in him).
