Men’s Ministries

Christian men face formidable challenges in today’s world. There are many obstacles that impede us from living “in a manner worthy of the calling” of Christ (Ephesians 4:1). Our desire at EBC is to encourage men in the outworking of their Christian calling, whether it concerns the workplace, home (as a husband and/or father), or their personal walk with the Lord.

Man Up Mondays happen every Monday morning at 6:00 AM in the Fireside Room. The men go through various helpful Christian books. Be sure to register on the Church Center app or at the Connections Desk.


Women’s Ministries

The women of Emmanuel have many opportunities to live out their calling in Christ. The primary ministry emphasis for women is our Titus Two ministry, which teaches and trains women to think and live in accordance to God’s design for us so that He may be glorified.

There are also several women-specific Bible studies offered throughout the year, as well as larger-scale fellowship and teaching events. At any event or gathering that Women’s Ministries hosts, there will be a Bible-centered message for the women, as our desire is to encourage the women at EBC to become women of discernment who live out God’s word in our lives and community as ambassadors of Christ in a very lost world.

Women’s ministries hold various morning and evening Bible studies. Sign up on the Church Center app or at the Connections Desk.

For more information, please contact our Women’s Ministries Director, Regina Pimentel (regina@ebcmv.org) at 360-424-1173.


Leadership Classes

Leadership classes are offered as needed for church members, both men and women, who wish to take leadership roles throughout the church. Church Leadership 101 focuses on foundation elements of leading God’s people. Excelling in these classes will prepare someone to take on discipleship and leadership roles here at EBC. This class involves reading, lectures, group assignments, and hands-on workshop projects. Church Leadership 201 requires the student to have successfully completed Church Leadership 101.
