Church Online FAQ
What is ECC Church Online like?
ECC Church Online is a safe and welcoming community where you grow in God’s WORD and learn how to apply it to your daily WALK. It is a video broadcast from our Fort Wayne campus, with real-time communication through online chat with hosts and other people, which you can choose to join if you want to connect with others watching.
Our church online service schedule is available at: live.emmanuelcommunity.org. Each service will have worship music to begin the service, a weekly message from one of our pastors, and caring volunteers that will pray with you about things that matter in your life. It’s just like attending church at one of our physical locations, except it’s online!
