About Emmanuel Baptist Church

Emmanuel Baptist Church is a growing, Christ-centered congregation located in East-Central Minnesota. We are joyfully committed to Reformed theology and the sufficiency of Scripture in all areas of life and ministry. Over the past eight years, the Lord has blessed us with both financial and spiritual stability, along with steady growth—particularly among young families and teenagers, many of whom attend on their own initiative.

Our church family is multigenerational, with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences—from professionals to tradespeople, from new believers to mature disciples. Over the past seven years, we've celebrated an average of five baptisms annually. We're currently transitioning to a biblical elder-led structure, reflecting our commitment to Scripture-shaped leadership.
