Welcome to Emmanuel
Emmanuel is an open and affirming faith community located in Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood. Our creed is ancient and our theology is progressive. We are seekers, believers, doubters, questioners, learners who believe that faith is a journey, not an event. We proclaim a Gospel of love that includes all people and we seek to serve the world in the name of the one who dined with sinners, called tax collectors into leadership, and showed a preference for the poor and oppressed.

A major work by the Nobel laureate author, a novel written during the rise of fascism in Europe that imagined a similar fascist takeover in America.
