Pastor Emmanuel and his wife Janelle, have been serving in McCook since December of 2006.  They have two children, Olivia who is 3, and Ava, who was born in July of 2008.  

Emmanuel and Janelle both graduated from Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs.  They moved to Kansas City to pursue graduate studies in counseling before determining beyond any doubt that God had called them to full time pastoral ministry. 

Pastor Emmanuel is currently finishing his graduate work through Indiana Wesleyan University online. 

Emmanuel was raised in Indiana, and his family still lives in the Brownstown area. 

Janelle’s father is a pastor and she has lived in Colorado, Iowa, North Dakota, Michigan and Montana.  Her father is currently pastoring in Chariton, IA.
