HISTORY
.jpg)
Immanuel Worship Center began on June 24th in the home of Pastor Roberta Washington (formerly Carter). Pastors Pigana and Dr. Roberta are the Sr. Pastors of IWC.
Our church began with Assistant Pastor Ruth Edwards (then a teacher). The ministry began with 6 people. Pastor Roberta heard from God and moved forward. We have since maintained our Vision and Mission.
Vision - Founded on Matthew 28:17-20
And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen

God
Christians believe that there is only one God, whom they call Father as Jesus Christ taught them.
Jesus
Christians recognise Jesus as the Son of God who was sent to save mankind from death and sin.
Jesus Christ taught that he was Son of God. His teachings can be summarised, briefly as the love of God and love of one's neighbour.
Jesus said that he had come to fulfil God's law rather than teach it.
Justification by faith
Christians believe in justification by faith - that through their belief in Jesus as the Son of God, and in his death and resurrection, they can have a right relationship with God whose forgiveness was made once and for all through the death of Jesus Christ.
The Trinity
Christians believe in the Trinity - that is, in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Some confuse this and think that Christians believe in three separate gods, which they don't.
Christians believe that God took human form as Jesus Christ and that God is present today through the work of the Holy Spirit and evident in the actions of believers.
Life after death
Christians believe that there is a life after earthly death.
While the actual nature of this life is not known, Christians believe that many spiritual experiences in this life help to give them some idea of what eternal life will be like.
