Our Staff Team
Immanuel’s staff functions as a collaborative, relational, and sacrificial team which seeks to serve the church, each other, and their families. Immanuel Anglican is egalitarian, meaning that we elevate and celebrate both women and men as equally gifted and called into leadership by God in the church. Our staff is overseen by a Senior Leadership Team, which is led by our Rector.
