Small Groups
Life is meant to be shared. God intends for us to experience life together. What the Bible calls fellowship is much more than just showing up at services, it is experiencing life together. It includes unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting, and more "one another" experiences.
That's why at Emmanuel we encourage you to participate in a small group. We offer a variety of small groups where you can meet and share life with people in a similar life stage or with people of the same common interests as you. No matter where you are in life, there's a group for you!

Celebrate Recovery
The purpose of Emmanuel Baptist church's "Celebrate Recovery" is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to "be changed." By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our hurts, habits and hang-ups. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ.
Missions
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." At Emmanuel we seek to fulfill the Great Commission by going into "all the world" - our local community first, our state and nation second, and then to the international community. As Southern Baptists, we support the Cooperative Program in its work throughout the world. We, however, have not limited our involvement in missions with just the cooperative program. We support and participate in a wide variety of ministries world-wide. It is our goal to not only put a face on missions, but to give, go and serve wherever God calls us.
Worship & Arts
Each program in our church is designed for two purposes - to know Him and to make Him known. Beyond that we are also involved in a ministry of sharing life's journey - "together in the journey" - as we face the joys, the sorrows, and the challenges of daily living. We believe the music ministry accomplishes all of these goals and more and are excited to welcome new individuals into our ministry.

Student Ministry
The purpose of the Emmanuel Student Ministry is to connect teenagers to a lifelong relationship with God. Our primary focus is to help each student build lifelong connections as they develop deep life roots into the Truth of God's Word. Relational small groups are our leading environment for Truth discovery. We divide our middle school and high school students so that we can disciple them appropriately at their developmental stage. Our students worship at the gatherings offered on Sunday mornings. High energy music and media connects teenagers in intimacy with Jesus and with the other generations of the Emmanuel church body.
College Ministries
Responding to God. Relationships with each other. Reaching out to our community. That's what college ministry at Emmanuel is all about. Through in-depth Bible study, informal gatherings and meaningful ways to serve our church and community, we engage students in relationships that encourage and strengthen their walk with Christ. So whether you attend classes in Enid at NOC or NWOSU, or are home for the weekend, Emmanuel has a place for you to connect on your college spiritual journey.
Resources:
Singles
Element is our single adult ministry here at Emmanuel Baptist Church. We seek to challenge single adults to a lifestyle of caring relationships, growing in Christ, serving others in love, and sharing the life changing power of Jesus Christ. We know singles are crucial and essential to the mission of our church and the way we serve each other and the community. There's enormous power in singles' working and serving together.
Regardless of the circumstance or choice that led you to be single at this time, God has a plan and a purpose for your life.
Women's Ministries
The women's ministry at EBC desires to meet the needs of today's unique woman. We have activities and studies of interest to women at different times during each week to accommodate women's schedules in the various stages of life. We pray that each woman will find inspiration and fellowship as she meets together in small groups with others for the purpose of growing together in the love of Jesus and for each other. The Bible Studies, mentoring groups, missions groups, prayer group and home arts activities are led by women who believe that God has called them to minister to other women. The groups are planned and 
coordinated through our Women's Ministry council.
Men's Ministry
Christian discipleship is more than being a believer - it's about being a follower. Our Men's Discipleship Group gives men at Emmanuel the opportunity to learn from, pray for, and encourage one another as they seek to follow Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Led by Pastor Wade, this group meets each Tuesday morning, 7:00, in Room SS100.
