Emmanuel church is based right in the heart of Southill. We are a community of people who worship God together, led by the Holy Spirit. We seek to follow Jesus and join God in His mission in the world. We long to see God’s Kingdom increasingly revealed in our community and lives transformed by Jesus. We believe that God is Love and He reaches out to welcome all, so we aim to bless our community in God’s love and welcome all who come.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

John 3:16
