Hear from Our Congregation

"As newcomers to the community in 1986, we searched for a church where we could worship, serve and be part of a family and that’s exactly what we found at Emmanuel Baptist.

We found people to share life with, from the Sunday School fellowship, to serving in nursery through youth and now welcoming others in our cool coffee shop. This sweet place of worship and its people have been a blessing to us. We look forward to continuing our faith walk at Emmanuel!"

Sarah P.

"For 24 years I’ve called Emmanuel “home”. For most of those years, I’ve served in the children’s department. One of the things I love most is that I’ve continually watched children run into their classes excitedly

- ready to learn and knowing they’re loved; and I’ve watched parents walk away with smiles - knowing their children are loved, safe and will learn the truths about God and His Word."

"My husband and I recently got married and moved to Kansas City. We wanted to start this new chapter of our lives with God by our side and ended up visiting Emmanuel. Our first visit was wonderful.

We were greeted by the nicest, most welcoming people and made to feel very at home. During that first service, I felt called to rededicate my life to Christ and be baptized...Emmanuel is a welcoming church with wonderful people to help facilitate a growth in your relationship with Jesus."

"For the past 10 years it has been my privilege and joy to worship and serve at EBC. My church family has uplifted me in the best of times celebrating my marriage and the dedication of our children as well as the difficult times

including the recent loss of our possessions in a fire. We feel that God's best for us lies just ahead. Our family is looking forward to our new start in life and we are excited about what the Lord is doing in our church!"

"As newcomers to the community in 1986, we searched for a church where we could worship, serve and be part of a family and that’s exactly what we found at Emmanuel Baptist.

"EBC means a lot to me. The children's ministry is really good. The games and crafts we do are really fun. Mr. Dave puts on a skit every Sunday morning and usually asks for people to help.

The lessons we go over are AWESOME. The teachers are great. Every time I come home from church I feel like I am made anew..."

"EBC has been our home for 10 years and we have experienced many life changes and stages during that time. This church family is encouraging and supportive when it is easy and when it gets tough.

We joined EBC right before we had any children and it has been a blessing to watch our kids grow in their faith and love for Jesus and others. Our family has participated in Lifegroups at EBC and they are intimate and intentional. We enjoy AWANA and how purposeful it is in scripture memorization and making it fun. I also had the joy of doing MOPS here which impacted my heart and refreshed my soul to provide my children what they needed but also take the guilt away of not being All they need All the time. We are proud to call EBC our church family and thankful for God providing a body of believers to do life with."

What we Believe

We believe God has placed Emmanuel Baptist Church in Kansas City to engage the next generation in our greater metro community with transforming gospel truth.

We actively build relationships with individuals in all phases of their faith journey, from lifelong believers to those discovering Jesus for the first time.

As God opens hearts and changes minds, He draws those far from Him into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. As a pillar of our Southern Baptist beliefs, we invite anyone moved by the grace of God into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

commonly asked questions

01. How do I get to Emmanuel Baptist Church?: Emmanuel is located at the northwest corner of Meltcalf and 103rd in Overland Park.
02. What should I do when I get there?: If you’re an adult, or have youth-aged children, we recommend parking at the north side of the building. Stop by our welcome desk and our volunteers can help you find a Bible study, the Worship Center, or even help you get a cup of coffee from our Corner Cafe.
03. What if I have kids?: If you’re visiting with small children we recommend parking at the south side of the building and stopping at our Children’s Welcome desk. There you can meet with volunteers who will help you check your children in and show you to their classrooms.
04. What should I wear?: Our congregation is diverse. You might find someone in a suit and tie sitting next to someone in jeans and a polo. The Bible is more concerned with modesty and a humble inward approach to God than dictating a particular dress code. So dress in a way that is personally comfortable and helps you prepare to meet with God.
05. What is the service like?: Our service structure is straightforward. We worship the Lord with songs and hymns led by a band with lyrics projected on a screen. We never single out newcomers in the middle of a service. Our pastor leads us in the reading of the scriptures and corporate prayer and preaches from the Bible in an expository, verse by verse format. We usually close with a worship song, announcements, and our offerings to the Lord.
