There is always something going on at Emanuel! There is no shortage of ways to get involved, get to know people, or learn about us. Worship, fellowship, education, and social action are all a part of the fabric of Emanuel. We understand that when we are called to faith in Christ, we not only gather together as a community of Christians to worship, but we are sent out in service of his message. 

Children

Our exceptional educational team takes great joy in providing programs that teach and nurture our young people who are the future of our Christian faith.  The children at Emanuel experience church life through Sunday school and through special events throughout the year.

Some of the events include
  • Weekly Sunday School 
  • Vacation Bible School in conjunction with area churches​​

Mission Outreach

Throughout our history, Emanuel has reached out to those beyond its fellowship, both nearby and throughout the world. Such outreach simply imitates the way Jesus Christ lived and worked. Emanuel United Church of Christ has a 150 plus-year history of reaching out to the great community we call home as well as to the nation and world beyond.

Emanuel is an active church that reaches out to the community and beyond in love and fellowship.  We support the activities that help Manchester and the greater community:   Manchester Family Services, Manchester Community Resource Center, Red Cross Blood Drives, Manchester Crop Walk, and, Church World Services.

We house many local groups: 
- We host our local Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops.
