What is Christianity?​
We frequently run a variety of courses to do with the Christian faith. In particular there are always regular opportunities to join an alpha. Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Everyone’s welcome. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited. Click here for more details. Email to find out about our next course.

Welcome Suppers
Every 2-3 months, we hold buffet suppers to which we invite the latest new faces at Emmanuel. They are an opportunity to get to know a few members of the leadership team, the congregation and some fellow newcomers. Also to hear a little more detail about Emmanuel's vision, ministry and family life.
​
Electoral Roll
If you are looking to put your feet down at Emmanuel and make it your home, we encourage you to join the 'Electoral Roll' (though you don't have to!). Do ask one of the leaders after the service.
