Emmanuel International Ministry
Who We Are
Emmanuel International Ministry, based in Yonkers, NY, is a faith-based community led by Senior Pastors Valentin and Yeskeila Rivera. Our ministry focuses on providing spiritual renewal and life transformation by dedicating ourselves, like the early church did (Acts 2:42-47), to the sound teaching of the Word of God, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, to worship and to prayer. Our desire is to connect with individuals and families, modeling Christ's love for God and for the people. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where individuals can find support, grow in their faith in Christ, and become the vessels God destined them to be!
​
We truly believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring about positive change in people's lives. So, we encourage a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Additionally, with the help of the Holy Spirit and also the help of our services and programs, we aim to help individuals live out their daily lives in Christ and ultimately become the agents of change within their homes, their communities, and the world! Our objective is to advance the Kingdom of God on Earth fulfilling the Great Commission outlined in Matthew 29:16-20, where on a mountain in Galilee Jesus calls on his followers to make disciples of and baptize all nations in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
What We Believe
At EIM, our faith is grounded in the eternal truths of the Bible and in Jesus Christ, our Savior. We believe:
01
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
02
There is one God who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
03
Jesus Christ is our Savior, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and will return in glory.
04
The only way to salvation is through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
05
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live holy lives and fulfill their purpose.
06
We look forward to Christ’s return and eternal life for those who are saved.
These beliefs guide everything we do, from worship to service, as we seek to live in alignment with God’s Word and share His love with the world.
