Pastor Larry preaches in an expository manner. He is committed to teaching the Bible every Sunday. He is Reformed in his theology and this carries through to his teaching and preaching.
We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. There is one and only one living and true God. God is triune and reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. God created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. By his choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the world and human race. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. It is only by the blood of Jesus Christ that salvation for man is found.
Baptism by immersion is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour.
The Lord's Supper is an act of rememberance of the death of Jesus Christ and anticipate His second coming. We have an open table and serve the Lord's Supper to members and non-members that attend our church as long as they are professing Christians. We serve the Lord's Supper the 1st Sunday of each month.

Emmanuel's History
Emmanuel Baptist Church, originally named Emmanuel Baptist Chapel, is located in Great Cacapon, West Virginia. The church had its beginning on July 19, 1994, when the Reverend Johnny Kelly, then our Southern Baptist Director of Missions, met with a small group of local residents. Most of these residents were attending Berkeley Baptist Church and were interested in beginning a new church in the Great Cacapon area. Sunday school and worship services began October 2, 1994 and was
fully constituted as a Southern Baptist Church on Sunday, May 5th, 1996.
Pastor Larry Tomlinson is the current pastor and has served Emmanuel since 2001.
