Your Visit

Emmanuel Church seeks to be a house of prayer for all people. We invite all people to participate in our community and worship life. We know, however, that your first visit to our church brings up some questions.

How do I get there?

Directions:

FROM THE NORTH, use I-83 into Baltimore, take Exit 5, (Maryland Avenue, becomes Cathedral Street). The Church is 6 blocks south of Exit 5 at 811 Cathedral Street, corner of Read Street.

FROM THE SOUTH & THE INNER HARBOR, north on Charles Street, left on Read Street one block to Cathedral Street.

PARKING: Free Sunday Morning Parking is available on the lot at Charles and Read Streets, next to the Church. You may also park in designated neighborhood parking zones for up to 2 hours.

LIGHT RAIL: Use the Cultural District station, walk south one block to Read Street, then east a couple of blocks to the Church at Read and Cathedral Streets.

What should I wear?

You should wear what is comfortable for you. For some that may mean a Hawaiian shirt. For others that may mean a coat and tie. We are interested in you and your needs, not in what you wear.

What will the worship service be like?

We have a mixture of traditional and contemporary prayers, outstanding music, and preaching that seeks to be compelling and relevant. Expect a service that will engage your heart, mind, lift your spirit, and give you a message to help face the week ahead.

Do I have to be Episcopalian to come to Emmanuel?

You do not have to be an Episcopalian to come to Emmanuel. All people are invited to join us and to fully participate in our services.

Can my children participate?

Your children can participate fully at Emmanuel. They can join a Sunday School class for the morning, and they can be fully present in our worship services.

Is child care available?

Child care is always available on Sundays. We have a nursery with two nursery workers available every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Is there education for adults?

We have a forum on a variety of topics that meets every Sunday at 9:10 a.m. – 10:10 a.m. We have other classes and programs during the week. All are welcome.
