Emmanuel Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America. We believe in the historic Christian faith as summarized is the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. We call ourselves "Emmanuel" (God with us) because we believe that Jesus' substitutionary death and poured out Spirit have brought God near. God's nearness brings life to all that we do – to our worship, our friendships, our families, our thought life, our studies, and our work. We embrace Emmanuel's love for the city and seek to share his beauty, truth, healing and goodness with the communities where we live and work, particularly the communities of Morningside Heights.
