Who We Are
We are a Southern Baptist Church located in Parrish, Florida, 2 miles off I-75 near the Ellenton Outlet Mall and in the middle of the growing community of Parrish. We are a mix of people from across the country and around the world gathering together to worship Jesus and build strong families. As Southern Baptists, we partner with almost 50,000 other churches around the country to see North America and the World transformed for Christ.

Our Beliefs
As a Southern Baptist Church, we have adopted as our statement of faith the Baptist Faith & Message (2000).
Our History
In the 1970s a group of ranchers donated land on Highway 301 for the purpose of building a church to reach the Parrish area. By 1977, Emmanuel Baptist Mission had been founded and a permanent facility was built in 1979. The congregation moved from a mission to an established church in March 1988, with much help from Manatee First Baptist. Over the years our church has been blessed to have a number of pastors and leaders who have guided us to where we are today. Now, Emmanuel sits at the crossroads of an incredible growth in the Parrish area. The dream of a group of ranchers 40 years ago is still unfolding, as Emmanuel sits ready to reach Parrish and beyond as we seek to "build strong families in Christ."
