Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a Kingdom advancing gospel church, which is for the Gospel, for the city, and for the world.

For the Gospel

We are unashamedly and wholly united in both the message and the mission of the Gospel. The message of the Gospel is that there is one hope for the world, and that hope is found in Jesus. The mission of the Gospel is to fill the world with his glory by all people coming to know Christ.

Why are we for these things?

So, why are we for these things? Because God is glorified and His Kingdom is advanced the most when you and I realize that everything we do is for the Gospel, for the City, and for the World! How we parent, how serve, how we learn, how we love, how we lead… every aspect of life and church… is intended to bring Him glory and advance His Kingdom.
