A WORD TO VISITORS
If you are simply visiting EMMANUEL, we ask that you do NOT give. Giving to EMMANUEL is only for those who have made EMMANUEL their home church, or for those who want to be part of the mission of planting this new church in the city of Seattle.

If would like to contribute to the planting of this church, then we also encourage your Online giving as a way to facilitate the ministry of this new church plant. We invite our friends who believe in what we are doing to join us. For more information about the vision of EMMANUEL, you can visit this site regularly. http://emmanuel-posts.blogspot.com/

Regular giving to one's church is a reasonable component of one's normal worship experience. It is not only scriptural and historical, it is also essential for the work of God’s Kingdom in every local church. Jesus told us to, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " Financial giving is just one of many ways on can be on mission with Jesus. Without the dedication of resources and energies the work of God cannot go forward.

Be assured that all funds given to EMMANUEL are used for the furtherance of EMMANUEL’s vision - that is - to love Seattle in tangible ways through the services provided by this church.
All gifts given to EMMANUEL are tax deductible through the Northwest Ministry Network. You will receive statements indicating your gifts and contributions. Your information and privacy are protected on this site.

Thank you,
Dan Rice
Founding Pastor
