 Emmanuel Episcopal's commitment to outreach in our downtown Rockford setting extends back 30 years to the  purchase of the Franklin School property next door to the church and the first soup kitchens held there that winter.

Soup Kitchens continue every Saturday with 14 other churches and organizations providing volunteers. Volunteers cook and serve meals to at least 150 individuals each Saturday.

Shelter Care Ministries, an outreach of Emmanuel Church, serves homeless families with children and also has a program for people living with mental illness.  To learn more about this ministry, please use the tab in the left column.

Emmanuel, with its neighbor churches, is a founding member of Jeremiah Development.  This is an organization dedicated to the well-being of our neighborhood.  Activities include a large shared garden on Park Ave., a house rehabitation on Winnebago Street and tutoring in a neighborhood school.

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is affiliated with the Worldwide Anglican Communion www.anglicancommunion.org, the Episcopal Church U.S.A. www.ecusa.anglican.org, and the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago www.episcopalchicago.org/. 

The Holy Eucharist, also known as the Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, is our central act of worship. All persons of any denomination or age are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.
