History
At the turn of the twentieth century, a tent was pitched on the south side of Salisbury, where Rev. and Mrs. H.P. Adams obeyed the call of God to evangelize the area with the good news of Jesus Christ .This was the beginning of what is known today as the Emmanuel Wesleyan Church. In 1966, the church purchased a 12 acre plot of land on Rt. 50 and Shamrock Drive and on this land a new sanctuary was built. In 1982, Rev. Paul Miller led the church through a building program and added a 500 seat sanctuary. In 1986, Rev. Tom Bunting came to Emmanuel. There were 94 people in attendance his first Sunday. He had a passion for souls and a vision to capture Salisbury and the surrounding areas for Jesus Christ. God began to fulfill that vision and soon the church was full. In 1996 Emmanuel began the process of purchasing an additional 18 acres of land joining the property and began construction on a new 2500 seat sanctuary. Dedication of the new facility was held Sept. 29, 2002. God is still bles
