Theology: Southern Baptist Weekly Attendance: 2,800 Neighborhood: Lexington, KY Named as one of Outreach Magazine’s fastest-growing churches in 2018, Immanuel is passionate about engaging the community in its mission to lead people to Jesus and equip disciples in their faith. Since its birth in 1909, Immanuel, a multi-generational body of Jesus followers, has been known for its commitment in building strong community inside and outside the walls of the church while providing a warm and welcoming environment to encounter and worship God, and an unwavering commitment to teaching the truth found in God’s Word. As a church, Immanuel is committed to ministering to the entire family, and in all our ministries, communicating Jesus Christ is the answer to our deepest needs. Sundays at Immanuel are an exciting time of engaging worship and practical, biblical teaching aimed to point our hearts and minds to Jesus. Immanuel also provides opportunities on Sundays to grow in our love for God through small groups at every age and stage of life. Immanuel’s impact increases throughout the week as the property serves as a preschool and elementary campus for Lexington Christian Academy, a site for over 600 women participating in Bible Study Fellowship, and is home to a fully supported Recreation Outreach Center providing thousands of members with cardio and strength conditioning facilities, two basketball courts, and group fitness classes. Having recently grown to two campuses within the city, Immanuel is excited for the opportunity to expand the reach of the Gospel beyond Lexington with new campuses launching within the bluegrass region in 2020 and beyond.
