There’s always room for one more
Welcome to the Emmanuel Group of Churches. We are a family of faith where there’s always room for one more — a group of three Sunday congregations in Northampton.
We gather from many denominations and expressions of Christian faith: the largest parish in Peterborough Diocese by population, part of the Methodist Circuit in Northampton and the Baptist Union of Great Britain — and a home for anyone who hasn’t worked out which denomination they belong to, or simply doesn’t mind.
Whether you have been a Christian a long time, or you are new to faith, curious about it, or think it is nonsense — you are welcome to come along and be part of our family. There is always room for one more round our table.
Our vision
A place to worship together, week by week.
Sent out into Boothville, Rectory Farm and beyond.
Doors open through the week, not just on Sundays.
Where the broken-hearted find comfort and freedom.
Always room for one more round our table.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
Isaiah 61:1 — our theme as a church
