Tates Creek

Welcome to IBC!

The Tates Creek location is the original campus and where everything began. At Immanuel, we’re passionate about helping people moving into genuine community.


Immanuel is a wonderful place of worship and celebration, a time of prayer and singing, and a time to be challenged and shaped by God’s Word, but it’s in community where we are truly known and cared for. It’s the place where true friendship happens and where we discover who God created us to be.
