Mission Statement:

Emmanuel Community Church, American Baptist, is Christ-centered, reaching out to all through positive acts that reflect God’s love.

Vision Statement:

We are a spiritually growing, diverse community that is active and visible in West Central Florida.

Through worship, prayer, Christ-centered Bible studies, small-group gatherings, and fellowship opportunities, we empower people to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

We influence and support our community in efforts that highlight and uplift human dignity, equal rights, religious freedom, and social justice by being nurturing and supportive to all that we meet.

We live our faith by participating in programs that feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless through American Baptist missions and other benevolent organizations.
