A Christ-centered community rooted in Scripture, growing together in faith, love, and truth.
We exist to glorify God by being a loving family of Christ-followers who are passionate about helping others find and follow Christ.
Since 1952, Immanuel Baptist Church has been a place where individuals and families come together to worship, grow, and serve in the name of Jesus Christ. Located in the heart of Springdale, Arkansas, we are a Christ-centered, Bible-teaching congregation committed to living out our faith in everyday life.
We believe the church is not just a building, it’s a family.
Here, you’ll find a close-knit community where genuine relationships are formed, the Scriptures are faithfully preached, and spiritual growth is encouraged. Whether you are exploring Christianity, returning to church, or seeking a place to deepen your walk with God, we welcome you with open arms.
Together, we aim to glorify God, build one another up in love and truth, and share the hope of the Gospel throughout Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
Our values reflect our commitment to live faithfully according to God's Word, build meaningful relationships, and glorify Christ in all we do within the church and in the world around us.
Faithful, expository teaching rooted in Scripture.
Encouraging accountable, grace-filled relationships.
Supporting parents and nurturing children in the faith.
Sharing the life-giving message of Jesus.
Living life together in love, humility, and service.
We follow the New Testament model of church leadership, where elders oversee the spiritual health of the congregation and deacons faithfully care for its physical and practical needs.
Elders are called to shepherd, teach, pray, and provide guidance with humility and biblical wisdom. Deacons serve by supporting the body of Christ through compassion, service, and hospitality.
We believe that leadership is not about power, it’s about service. The men who lead our church are not only spiritually qualified, but deeply committed to loving and caring for the people God has placed in their care.
Meet the team that leads and serves Immanuel Baptist Church. Through prayer, teaching, and care, our elders and deacons are dedicated to guiding our church family following God’s Word.

“When I was 14 years old, the Lord began to work in my heart through the ministry of a youth group. For the first time, I began to understand the gospel and my need for Christ. It wasn’t long before I repented of my sins and accepted Christ’s gift of salvation. I was baptized a few months later and joined a local church.”
The deacons embody servant-hearted leadership, faithfully supporting the congregation with care, humility, and spiritual maturity.
Join us as we walk together in faith, grow through God’s Word, and share life as a church family rooted in Christ’s love.
