Welcome to Iglesia Emanuel
Who We Are
A faith family that began in Marlborough in 1997 and today serves at nine campuses and online.
Iglesia Emanuel was born in 1997 in Marlborough, Massachusetts, from the calling of pastors Eliu and Elva Chacón. What began as a ministry to their own city is now a faith family with nine campuses.
OUR VISION · WHY WE EXIST
We exist to impact our communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
FOUNDING PASTORS
Where it all began
In 1997, Eliu and Elva Chacón founded Iglesia Emanuel in Marlborough, Massachusetts, with a clear vision: to impact every life with the gospel of Jesus. They began by ministering to the people in their own city.
Today, Iglesia Emanuel has nine campuses, and the Chacóns have helped plant more than 20 congregations across the United States, Honduras, Ecuador, and El Salvador. Their top priority remains training the next generation of leaders.

LATEST MESSAGE
[Most recent message title]
Worship that invites you to encounter Jesus
Every Sunday, in person and online, worship is our response to who God is. It is not about the style of music, but the heart behind it.
Our songs are born from what God is doing in our congregation. Take them with you throughout the week and keep worshipping wherever you are.
A community that leaves a mark
Whether you are just starting out or have been in the faith for years, you will grow faster with others. Our groups are small spaces where real friendships are built.
Serving is the fastest way to feel like you belong. There is a place for your gifts at every campus, no matter how much time you have available.
