Our Members
Emmanuel members can be found in schools, colleges, universities, automotive administrative and production jobs, owners and operators of businesses and services. They are in dentistry, medicine, nursing, law, hair dressing, automotive sales and repair, construction, lumber sales and management, energy-related services, engineering, music, real estate, custodial services, farming, military service, teaching, insurance, and correctional work. They exercise their Christian influence throughout the communities they live in by membership in service organizations and by serving on community boards and in city and township offices/boards.
Emmanuel members are Anglo-Saxon, Hispanic, Black, and Asian. They live in houses, apartments, condominiums, and manufactured homes. They are your local neighbor in Ypsilanti, Denton, Belleville, Ann Arbor, Milan, Saline, Willis, Brighton, Dexter, Chelsea, Whitmore Lake, Superior Township, Van Buren Township, or Ypsilanti Township. They may live in other parts of the country such as Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Utah, Virginia, and Hawaii.
Sunday Worship, Parish Education for all ages, and Bible study are the heart of Emmanuel's life. They are the sign of God With Us through Word and Sacraments. Through them, God the Holy Spirit keeps us in the one true faith and directs us in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Chancel Choir, soloists and small groups lead the church in praise and thanksgiving to God. Our Youth, ELCW Circles, Retired Men's Group, and Boy Scout Troop 290 serve the church and others in many ways.
The Clothes Closet, Food Pantry, and Ypsilanti Hunger Coalition dinners continue our Lord's concern and care for those in need, and Emmanuel members who serve those needs do so in a spirit of kindness and compassion that lends dignity to those served.
