Separation
"God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He has
pleased."
I Corinthians 12:18
In His providence, God will move people from Emmanuel. Some of our members will
be moved to another city, others will move to sister churches in Enid, and others will be called
home to be with the Lord.
In order for us to keep an accurate accounting of our membership we ask you to do the
following if you separate from the fellowship of Emmanuel for reasons other than death.
- Contact one of the pastors regarding your decision to move.
- Unite with a sister church as quickly as possible.
- Request from us a letter of recommendation, which we will gladly give, unless
there
are unresolved church discipline issues.
We ask that you contact us, not because we seek to change your mind, but rather that our
relationships with each other will continue and that we might learn how to more effectively
minister to our people.
What matters is that you actively worship God and serve Him through the local church.
Whether you worship at Emmanuel or another sister church is your decision, not ours. We
desire to be in good relationship with all Christians regardless of where they worship.
