Welcome to Emmanuel Episcopal Church

A Welcome to Emmanuel

Welcome to Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Located in the center of Mercer Island, just a few minutes from Seattle in the Puget Sound, we are and open and affirming community that welcomes all. Emmanuel is currently in a period of transition. We will be welcoming our new Rector, the Rev. Hunt Priest, to Emmanuel this June. Please join us for worship Sunday, stop by the office or call us at (206) 232-1572 to let us know how we can best serve you. Scroll down to the items below this post to see what we're doing this month. If you are interested in finding a church home, hearing about our parish programs or with wish to learn about us or contact us for any reason, please send us an email or leave a comment below and we will get back to you shortly. Visit us again soon, or better yet, come make yourself at home at Emmanuel.

Parish Profile

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is a Christ-centered community whose mission is to welcome, worship, witness, and serve as Christ’s body in the world. This profile outlines who we are and presents our vision of who God is calling us to be. In it we define the resources and share our thoughts about what we believe we need to make our vision a reality. The bulleted lists under each of the four mission sections summarize the results of our most recent parish survey. We invite you to explore the possibility that God the Holy Spirit may be calling you to join our community in its mission to serve God and neighbor.

Thank you to all the members of the Call Commission, especially Bruce Lee, David Bachman, Anna Gordon, and Rev. Marilyn Cornwell, for creating our new Parish Profile!
