What we believe
Emmanuel is part of the Church of England, whose principal leader is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Its parish stretches from Brighton Road up to and just beyond Croham Hurst. We are in the diocese of Southwark under the authority of the Bishop of Southwark, who delegates his care for us to the Area Bishop of Croydon. We work together with the Christians of other local churches, and are a member of the Evangelical Alliance. In this section you'll find a statement of what we believe as Christians.
What we believe finds expression in how we pray and how we use our resources. So you'll also find details of our weekly prayer news and some of the other ways we express our beliefs. We take seriously our membership of the global Christian Church.
You'll find details here of our partnerships with several individuals and churches locally and globally whom we support with finance, personal visits and prayer.
We also pray regularly for some of the millions of Christians in different countries around the world whose human rights are abused because of their faith.
