Josephine Brown

Women's Ministry Director
Meeting the spiritual, relational, and emotional needs of your family is hard. With the women’s ministry of Emmanuel – we know how difficult it is to become a woman of excellence, especially one who is doing it all while following Jesus, too. Our sole desire is to walk with you as you grow your relationship with Jesus, so you can live victoriously in all areas of your life.

Ben Richardson, sr.

Men's Ministry Director
At Emmanuel – we know the stats: most men do not have close friends in their life. We believe God created us to be in community with others. The relationships with other men are what helps us become all God created us to be. Our desire is to grow a brotherhood of Kingdom minded men who commit to follow Jesus together in all parts of their lives.
