Emmanuel Baptist church is an Elder-led, Deacon-served, congregational church.  This means that, while the members of EBC are the final authority over the church under Christ, the congregation follows the pastoral leadership of a group of Elders, who oversee the ministry of the Church. The congregation is also served and led in service by the body of Deacons, who facilitate the practical needs of the church and maintain the things needed for the church to gather in worship.
