Emmanuel Baptist Church is thrilled to share that our second annual Fall Festival is coming up on Friday, October 30, 2026, coinciding with the Portales community’s annual Trunk or Treat celebration. We invite you to join us, connect with our church family, and share how we can serve you. Enjoy a delightful evening filled with delicious food, sweet treats, exciting games, and three amazing bounce houses!

Join us at the RCEC Square, where we are eager to connect with you and share the incredible work Christ is doing in our church through the various ministries, we are privileged to be involved in. Most importantly, we want to extend to you the love of Christ and share the Gospel Story.

After spending just less than a year studying the book of Galatians, Pastor Cj has been in prayer seeking God's guidance for our church's next steps. He is thrilled to share that this Sunday, August 16, 2026, we will dive into the introduction of the book of James. We’ll explore key elements such as the Author, the Audience, the Setting, the Dates Written, and the Purpose.. A pivotal verse in this discussion is James 2:18, in which James highlights that true faith is revealed through one's actions, illustrating the inseparable nature of faith and works. James states in 2:18, GNT 18 But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions. As long as God keeps guiding us, we'll be diving into the book of James. We’d love for you to join us and grow together in God’s Word and Truth!

We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause. Although our YouTube channel is currently active, our Sunday Services are still a work in progress. Thank you for your understanding and support as we strive to enhance your experience!

Let's give a warm welcome to Wylie & Becky Flen as they kick off their new ministry with our young adults! Pastor CJ and Lexi are throwing a cookout at their place on June 28 to wrap up the Active Church Member Study. After that, on Sunday, July 5, Wylie & Becky will dive into a study of the book of James. They'll tackle some important life skills like dealing with challenges, handling temptation, controlling our words, budgeting, cultivating patience, and the art of effective prayer.

Greetings! Have you missed the Thursday Women’s Bible Study sessions? The group meets every Thursday at 10:00 AM. Currently, they are exploring a book by Rev. Dr. William B. Brunsson called The Silent Years. Their focus is on understanding how 400 years of silence set the stage for Christmas.

Emmanuel Baptist Portales is thrilled to introduce an exciting new bus ministry! Every Sunday, Dusty Reese and Fernie Tapia will provide transportation for children ranging from 1st grade all the way up to 18 years old. Your children will be picked up and safely brought back home following each Sunday School and Church session. Sunday School begins at 9:30 AM, and the morning service typically concludes around 12:30 PM. 

Fernie and Dusty have recently undergone background checks. Additionally, cameras have been set up on the bus to ensure the safety of both the children and our volunteers. The staff members interacting with the children have also completed their background checks and are stationed in the Church Office.

Feel free to contact Dusty at 575-714-4488 or Fernie at 575-760-4564; we would be delighted to welcome your children to our program.
