Share your story: A call to testimonies

One of the greatest gifts God has given us as a church family is each other. Every one of us carries a unique story of how the Lord has worked in our lives, through seasons of joy, challenge, healing and transformation. When we share those stories, we don’t just speak words; we plant seeds of hope, encouragement and faith in the lives of others. At Emmanuel we have a great community with a wide range of experiences and these experiences deserve to be shared to give hope to others.

We want to celebrate the incredible ways God is moving in our community. And to do that, we need your voice.

Why testimonies matter

Scripture reminds us that “we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony” (Revelation 12:11). Our testimonies are not just personal, they are powerful tools God uses to remind others that He is faithful and near. What might feel ordinary to you could be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

How you can participate

We’re inviting every member of our church to share a testimony—big or small. Maybe it’s a moment when God provided in a time of need, or how you experienced His peace during uncertainty, or even how being part of this community has strengthened your walk with Him.

You can:

• Write your story and send it in for the website

• Be filmed for a short video of your testimony

• Speak at an upcoming service or small group gathering

  
  

A celebration of community

As we gather these stories, we’ll be weaving together a tapestry of God’s goodness, one that reminds us all of His presence in our daily lives and His work in our church. Together, we can celebrate what He has done, what He is doing and what He will continue to do among us.

So, we invite you: take a moment, reflect on your journey and share your testimony. Your story matters, because it points back to the One who is the author of them all.
