Vision Statement
Emmanuel International Church is committed to providing English language ministry to glorify God in the culturally rich and global region of Paris.
Out of grateful hearts that have been transformed by Him both individually and as a community, we worship Jesus believing that he died for our sins and rose again in triumph over death.
We are committed to the witness of the Bible, believing it is completely trustworthy and sufficient for teaching us about God and ourselves. This commitment motivates us to grow together in Christ and equips us for every good work.

Our Beliefs

CHRISTIAN
Our beliefs adhere to the historic Christian faith, particularly in the doctrine of the Trinity and in the person of Christ.
03
EVANGELICAL
Our beliefs are in line with the evangelical tradition, particularly in our emphasis on the gospel as the only way for salvation, the conviction that each individual must be “born again,” and that the Bible is the sufficient, inspired and inerrant word of God.
02
PROTESTANT
Our beliefs are in line with the Protestant tradition, particularly in the convictions that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone.

Our interpretations of Scripture are in line with the Baptist tradition, particularly concerning believers baptism and the autonomy of the local church.
Distinctives
EIC is united in the following:
01
DIVERSITY
We are a church that celebrates the diversity of people who attend, differences that include national, cultural, economic and linguistical backgrounds.
03
LANGUAGE
We are a church offering worship in English, recognizing that many come to France without speaking french and feel most comfortable worshipping in English. One of our primary rolesis to be a gospel-centered church for this community.
02
CULTURE
We are a church that shares a common “international” culture. The diversity of many backgrounds coming together creates a God-glorifying international flavor that is rooted in gospel belief.
04
CITY
We are proud to be a Paris region church. We embrace France, the French people, and the beautiful region of Paris that is home for us. We work alongside other French churches and missions in order to seek the peace of the city where God has placed us.
How do I become a Christian?
We suggest you watch this short video on Youtube which explains why we need Christ and how to pray. If you live in the neighbourhood, we invite you to visit our church so that someone can talk to you about this very important decision.
