- Sometimes we look and sound like a rock band onstage at a Catholic youth festival. At other other times the beauty of our music cradles the Eucharist in an intimate celebration of liturgy. Whatever you've seen or heard of us before, I can guarantee there's more than meets the eye - or eardrum - to this groundbreaking musical outfit from Brisbane, Australia.

More than a band, emmanuelworship is the worship ministry arm of the Emmanuel Community a charismatic Catholic community in Australia whose vision is to be a force for renewal in the Church and the world. This is where we stem from, where we draw our life and find our mission to renew the Church through the incredible power of music and worship. 

Emmanuel means 'God is with us'. So our music is all about proclaiming to the world: 'You're not alone! In Jesus God has come down to be with us'. Through our worship we want people to know and experience that God is with them. Simple, but powerful.

OUR VISION is to broadcast praise and bring a river of worship flowing into the dry places of the Church and of peoples hearts:

    "See, I am doing a new thing!
      Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 
      I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. 
      I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, 
      to give drink to my people, my chosen. 
     The people I formed for myself will broadcast my praise." - Isaiah 43

The way we do this is by using our creative gifts - singing, playing and songwriting - to worship our awesome God and teach others to do the same. We play at Emmanuel Youth Outreach (EYO) events like the IGNITE conference & monthly FUEL praise & worship nights. We also travel to play at events hosted by other parishes and dioceses. But underneath our outreach is a continual week-by-week ministry in our community leading worship at prayer gatherings and celebrations of Mass.
