Immanuel Bible Church is a non-denominational church located in Springfield, Virginia, United States.
History
The church was founded in 1964 as a Baptist church (part of the General Association of Regular Baptists). The groundbreaking for the church's building took place in 1966. [1] In 1984 the church became non-denominational.
Immanuel Christian School
The school has been criticized for their anti-LGBT policies, which ban LGBTQ students and employees. This followed the decision of Karen Pence, second lady, to return as an art teacher in early 2019. [2] The attention the school received as a result of this caused a media debate as to whether their policies are discriminatory. [3]
