Biographical and Historical Note
Immanuel Baptist Church of Greenville, North Carolina was first organized on April 22, 1915 with 35 founding members. It spent much of its first year without a pastor or even a name. Its name, "Immanuel," would ultimately come from a dream of one of its members, Brother Dowell. In 1919, Immanuel Baptist Church held its opening service in its own building. By this time, church membership had grown to 140 people. As the church grew it expanded both its location and its services. In 1965, Immanuel Baptist Church broke ground on a new building, and in 1969 it opened a nursery school, which was also open to the wider community.
