Our programs

Church programs

Emmanuel Iranian Ministries serves the Persian-speaking community across Canada. Named after the promise of Scripture — Emmanuel, meaning “God with us” — we are a family of faith committed to Bible teaching, joyful worship, and practical love for children, youth, and adults. Our programs include Sunday worship services, adult Bible studies, prayer meetings, baptism ceremonies, and membership classes and volunteer teams serving in ushering, hospitality, and greeting. We also reach beyond our walls through outreach and community service — including food bank support and visitation — charity and fundraising drives, cultural and social events celebrating Persian holidays and fellowship meals, and educational workshops on financial literacy, parenting, and life skills. Many in our community are newcomers to Canada, and we walk alongside them as they begin a new life — offering spiritual care, friendship, and a welcoming home in their own language. Whether someone is exploring faith for the first time or has followed Christ for decades, there is a place for them in our family.
