About Us

Immanuel Community Church serves a multi-ethnic community of professional believers in Jesus Christ residing in various neighborhoods, who have sought Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.In 2002, a group of seminary students gathered on the Upper West Side of NYC for Bible studies and prayer, with a desire to know Jesus and discern their life directions in the midst of a fast-paced, secular city.

That small group of 10-15 students soon expanded, eventually involving more people, including pastors and mentors united in raising up disciples to reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel.Soon, diverse language groups from Latin America, Europe, and Asia came together to form the original pastoral leadership. The young Immanuel Church was established from this core leadership and continues to develop a diverse and global congregation. 

As the church increased in the number of congregants, New York Immanuel Church initiated active church planting projects to reach the local community more effectively and penetrate the city. The Great Commission of preaching the Word to the ends of the earth also inspired the church to expand to many more cities in nearby states, including New Haven, Providence, Philadelphia, Boston, Manchester, Burlington, Portland, and Trenton, New Jersey.Young and vibrant professionals will have a powerful impact in spreading the Gospel beyond New Jersey. Our hope is to reach many souls with the power of the Word of God and share the joy of salvation that comes from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
