Each week Emmanuel Free Methodist Church provides sound Biblical teaching to lead our congregation into a closer relationship with Jesus. As we journey with other Christians, and those who are seeking to know more about God, the messages help to bring new insights into the character of God and his son Jesus.

Each week, we will post Sundays preaching message, followed on Tuesday's with a discussion with Pastor Chris and his wife Leah as they review the Questions For Further Reflections, from that week's Connect Groups.
