Our first requirement is to love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. This commandment is the law that all other things Christian are based on. It is what we believe and what we are based on.
Immanuel Fellowship is a ministry grounded in "KOINONIA." This means "meaningful fellowship." We define this fellowship as follows:
Friendship
Love
Covenant
Family
Koinonia is much more than just another Bible study group, its more than people hanging out together. It is deep meaningful fellowship that causes barriers to be broken down and broken hearts to be healed. This is done through an atmosphere love and caring in levels not atainable in a "Church" setting. People have a need for family and who can meet that need more than the Body of Christ. In Koinonia convenant is realized between one another and family ties are established. Every time a group gets together a love feast is celebrated. This is much like family time around the dinner table, but there is more. This love feast is an example of what the disciples did every time they were together. Read the Gospel again and notice all the times they ate together. Eating together strengthens bonds between people. After the love feast, the people gather for praise and worship, a reading and teaching from the Bible then they pray for each other. This is just a simple context, but when it is done in the reality that the person setting next to you is; your brother in Christ, part of the Body of Christ, part of the Bride of Christ, a saint, a king and priest, they do not live but it is Christ that lives in them, in covenant with you, fellowship becomes a very powerful thing.
