Immanuel Baptist Church

About this church

Immanuel Baptist Church in Nashville gathers for intergenerational worship at 10:30 a.m. Sundays. Children, youth, and adults read Scripture and offer prayers, the adult choir leads hymns and anthems with a Möller pipe organ, and preaching draws connections among Scripture, history, literature, the natural world, and present life. The Lord's Supper is generally observed on the first Sunday of the month.

Children in first grade and older attend the service, while nursery care is provided upstairs for age five and younger. Music ranges from traditional church choral works to bluegrass ballads and instrumental pieces, giving worship a broader palette than a single musical category suggests. Immanuel describes its calling as radical, compassionate discipleship, spiritual curiosity, community, and ministry to neighbors and people on society's margins; its welcome spans differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, income, ability, politics, and theology. New families should arrive before 10:30 for nursery placement, while older children can expect to participate with the full congregation.
