教會事工

台北以馬內利教會竭力成為一個以“成全聖徒，建立身體”為牧養導向的群體（Community），透過我們日常的生活、事奉、言行來彰顯神的榮耀。作為神的兒女，我們每個人都蒙神賜予了許多恩賜、天賦和能力，使得你我可以在生活中榮耀神。
Taipei Immanuel Church is dedicated to revealing God’s glory in every avenue of our lives. As children of God, we have been endowed with many gifts, talents, and abilities that we can use to honor God.

在基督裏我們全體信都是一體的，但是每個信徒都有各自獨特的恩賜與興趣，為此，我們教會設立了不同的事工以便事奉不同的人群，藉著彼此關懷、代禱，發掘並應用自己的恩賜來服事別的肢體，同時藉着團契成員間的關懷，表彰基督的愛，達到以生活見證福音。同時，也讓每個信徒都有機會在神的國度中被神寶貴的用，從而做成末後的善工。
We feature several established as well as blossoming ministries and groups for every kind of gift and every type of person. Although we are one body in Christ, we have unique and diverse skills that we are called to invest into the Kingdom of God.

We open our doors to the community to form a harmonious body that desires to praise God with their special talents. Each group holds monthly and, in many cases, weekly gatherings of fun and creative fellowship time.

我們誠懇地邀請您參加適合自己的團契，並且會寶貴的看待你對不同事工的期待與建議。進而發展現有事工，開創新的事工，以便回應更多人的需要！若需要進一步消息請與教會同工聯絡。
We are always open to opening up more groups upon suggestion!

青年/大學「 YOUTH

青年/大學事工致力於彰顯福音在我們日常生活中，改變我們的社區並向所有人傳揚這福音的好消息。
Youth Ministry is dedicated to revealing the Gospel in our daily lives, transforming our communities, and preaching the good news to all people. As creative and committed Christians, we work daily to quench the spiritual drought in our cityscapes and restore the hearts of many around the world.

作為具有創造力和委身精神的基督徒，我們每天都在努力「消除」這個城市中的屬靈乾渴，恢復這地上許多人的心靈。
Immanuel Youth Group is a group of proactive, outreaching Christians, whose youth and passion are spent on bringing glory to God’s name.

你即將與我們團契、校園事工的同工，一起深入了解神的「活水」般的話語。我們誠摯地祈求青年小組能在屬靈上加強你，並在你奔走這個信仰之旅時，你將會在心靈和真理得到造就。
You are about to dive into the deep Word of God with our staff members at your local fellowships and university campuses. I sincerely pray that Youth Group will strengthen you spiritually and that you will be fully equipped in spirit and truth while you walk on this faith journey.

家庭 FAMILY

家庭是每個孩子誕生後最早接觸的環境。它將每個從自然誕生的個體，跨越到能夠獨立存在於神面前的存在。我們深知家庭的重要性，願意幫助每個家庭在真理上建造起來，並在他們生活的各個方面上蒙神喜悅。

Family forms the first environment for the children born on earth. It bridges everyone from the natural birth to the existence standing individually before God. We are deeply aware of the importance of serving the families established on truth and nourishing them to be graceful in all aspects of life.

此外，為了維護健康的家庭，透過研討會和聚會不斷教授和傳授家庭方面的聖經美德。

The biblical virtue in terms of family is constantly taught and delivered through the seminars and meetings to uphold the families healthy.

婚姻 MARRIAGE

「…那起初造人的，是造男造女，並且說：因此，人要離開父母，與妻子連合，二人成為一體。這經你們沒有念過嗎？既然如此，夫妻不再是兩個人，乃是一體的了。所以，神配合的，人不可分開。」﹝馬太福音十九4-6﹞

“Haven’t you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6)

耶和華神說：那人獨居不好，我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。耶和華神使他沉睡，他就睡了；於是取下他的一條肋骨，又把肉合起來。耶和華神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人，領他到那人跟前。﹝創世記二18、21-22

And the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. “…So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib (side) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. (Genesis 2:18, 21-22)

婚姻是神的神聖意旨，把看不見的「天上的愛﹝Heavenly Love﹞」在地上顯明出來，以彰顯祂的榮耀。這是神的愛通過人際關係體現出來的最生動和清晰的證明。

Marriage is the divine will of God that reveals the invisible and mysterious world of heavenly love on earth. It is the most vivid and clear demonstration of God’s love being incarnated through human relationships.

男人和女人超越情感，性和生活中其他各種元素的差異，通過愛來結合和活出更深的「合一的愛」。他們以基督為中心組成了一個家庭。當一方願意進入，並與對方建立關係時，他深深地學習他的存在的本質。神是在他們關係中的存在，這將「基督化家庭」與那些基於世俗文化和慾望的家庭區分開來。通過聖經中的婚姻聖經傳統，基督徒將在神的愛和真理的賜福中，組成美麗又純潔的婚姻關係。

The man and woman meet and experience the union by love beyond the differences of emotion, sexuality and other various elements in life. They form a family setting up Christ as their mediator in the center. Man learns the essence of his existence deeply when he is joined in a relationship with somebody. God’s presence in the center of their relationship distinguishes the Christian family from those made on secular culture and desire. Through the biblical tradition of the marriage shown in the scripture, Christians are to form the beautiful and pure marriage relationship blessed by God’s love and truth.

• The divine meaning of the marriage
• Biblical tradition of the marriage
• Family Church in the Kingdom of God

音樂 MUSIC

真正的讚美叫神喜悅，勝似獻牛。﹝詩篇六十九31﹞。音樂事工致力於以音樂來讚美神，榮耀祂，並尊崇、敬拜祂。每個主日和週三崇拜前十五分鐘都有音樂敬拜，所以，帶著感恩的心來到當中。
True praise pleases God more than offering an ox (Psalm 69:31). Music ministry is dedicated to performing music that praises God, gives glory to His holy name, and worships Him with honor. Worship for Sunday and Wednesday church services starts 15 minutes before service times, so come early with hearts full of thanksgiving to the Lord.

音樂事工團契，是一個可以和其他與你一樣帶著神的國度的夢想和盼望的，音樂家們一起聚集的地方。音樂事工旨在恢復我們與上帝的團契，獨一無二地履行神在每個基督徒的生活中，通過敬拜安慰神的百姓的意願，將好消息帶給需要福音的迷失的靈魂，在表演藝術中獲得獨特的個人經驗，並與當地和全球藝術家形成支持網絡，他們擁有同樣的激情，夢想和信念。
Music ministry fellowship is a place where you can meet other musicians who are in similar situations as you, with the same dreams and hopes of the kingdom of God. Music ministry works towards a goal of recovering our fellowship with God, uniquely fulfilling the will of God in each Christian’s life in comforting God’s people through worship, bringing the good news to lost souls who need the gospel, gaining unique personal experience in a performing arts ministry, and forming a supporting network with local and global artists who share the same passion, dream and faith.

You are always welcome to join the music team if you have musical talents with heart of praising the Lord.

You will be invited for an audition and to hear the vision of the Worship team.

禱告 PRAYER

WHY SHOULD WE PRAY?

What we pray is the relationship with God. The prayer is the breath just like people who breathe. It’s the breath of believer.If the breath stops, the life is over. Just as the breath never stops, we should live as we always pray with faith and as we form the relationship with God well.

THEN, HOW CAN WE PRAY? (Matthew 6:9-13)

09 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

TO WHOM OUR PRAYER IS GIVEN?

It’s Father. Where is the Father? He is in heaven. Our prayer is towards Father, God in heaven.

There are five prayers. The two previous prayers are public, and the three prayers of the latter part are personal. When we pray, in order that our prayer goes to God, there is something we should ask before God, which is the public prayer; Hallowed be thy name and Thy kingdom come. May the name of God is hallowed by the one who believes in Jesus. And we should pray with an earnest heart for Thy kingdom to come. The fundamental and essential topics were prayed so that our prayer may not become self-centered and egoistic. Next, one of the personal prayers of three things is regarding daily bread. This is the matter of today. Second is about the forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness is the issue of the past. This is the repentance for sins yesterday. Thirdly, lead us not into temptation. This is the issue of the future. We should pray not to be tempted. Even if the test comes, we should pray for letting us overcome it.

成年/長青 ADULT&SENIORS

According to recent statistics, the number of seniors steadily increases each year not only in developed countries but also in developing ones as a result of the bettering of living conditions. Therefore, there is a great need for senior ministry to be actively supporting the older generations.

Seniors can play a great role in the church. They have lived long lives and have accumulated experience in so many aspects of human existence that make of them a valuable source of knowledge that can be transferred to younger generations.

Christian seniors know the value of mercy, compassion, and love towards their neighbor. In the final stages of their lives, God reveals to them the importance of being righteous, of opening their hearts to the Holy Spirit and to the grace of the Father. Senior can transfer those values not only to their congregations but also to all people in their communities.

Ministers and senior adults in the church are invited to organize and perform activities in which seniors will play the main role. By working for Senior Ministry, elders in the church can make a profound difference in their lives of those around them.

青少年 TEEN

The vision that Teen Ministry maintains is to bring the everlasting hope of Jesus Christ to teenagers in this city. Though in a society where teenagers are exposed to numerous paths that lead them away from God, this generation has great potential in the eyes of the Lord. Once teens experience the salvation of Jesus Christ, teenagers will be a bright light in the darkest places and bring revival to the Church.

This ministry is dedicated to offering youth the care their spiritual needs through offering opportunities that allow them to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. Through providing teenagers with the resources they need, they will become powerful leaders in their schools and in their community. Additionally, this ministry focuses on raising spiritual mentors that will support local teenagers in following Jesus Christ and participating in the Kingdom of God.
