Welcoming new members

As a church we believe in membership: as a declaration of belonging to our Christian community and of supporting our values and mission.

We were delighted to welcome Mike, Rachel, Josh, Jonny, Roshan, Rachel (yes, there were two!), Tim and Nick into membership on Sunday 18th June, 2018.

Hear why they wanted to become members of Emmanuel Church. 

Ten years since Foundations Day

It's hard to believe, but it's 10 years since we held our Foundations Day. What? Read on...

Before we moved into The Durham Centre in March 2009, the building was an empty shell. Before we started converting it, we held a Foundations Day, where we painted scriptures, prayers and prophetic words onto the floor - right under the carpet where we now meet for our Sunday morning meetings!

To celebrate what God has done in the decade since, here's a reminder of that day, back in 2008.

Youth trip to Bosnia

We're privileged to be part of God's worldwide family, and have wonderful connections with churches and friends across the globe.

One of those connections is with the Novi Most charity, a Christian charity pioneering youth work in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This summer, a team of our young people and their youth leaders are heading out to Bosnia to support the charity's work and support local churches.

Here, two of the young people involved, Rosie and Molly, speak about the upcoming trip and a fundraising ceilidh, taking place at The Durham Centre on Saturday 16th June, from 6pm to 9:30pm. Tickets are £5 for adults, or £15 for a family. Children are welcome. You are welcome to bring food and drinks. Money raised will also help to send young people to the Newday event this summer. For ceilidh tickets, email naomi.ryan@emmanuel.org.uk
