Join Our Team
Thanks for considering the open positions at Emmanuel Church.
We value expository preaching, congregational singing, community groups and person to person disciple-making.
We see ministry as a lifestyle, not a job. From the pastoral staff to our volunteers, we want to empower Jesus followers to do the work of ministry.
City, Community, Church
Emmanuel Church is located on the outskirts of Weatherford, TX in growing Parker County.
Weatherford is a county seat town located 35 miles west of Downtown Fort Worth.

The city is also the home of Weatherford College, an accredited multi-campus community college with a five-county service area.
We are located approximately two miles south of Weatherford High School on Bethel Road. The housing and population trends are increasing rapidly.
Our mission is to reach the residents of Parker County with the Gospel of Christ, teach them to walk in obedience to Christ in all of life, and prepare them to join the mission of God in every sphere of life where God calls and leads them.
