Pastor Immanuel was born and raised in Long Branch, growing up in a faith-filled family where his parents instilled values of righteousness, integrity, and self-discipline. He was baptized at 14 and actively served in the church ministries. Immanuel answered the call to ministry in 2019, serving in Youth, Young Adults, and Worship ministries during his internship. In 2024, after much prayer and consideration, he accepted the position of Lead Pastor at Long Branch Baptist Church.

Immanuel earned a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and English from the University of Toronto and a Master of Divinity from Tyndale Seminary. Immanuel and his wife, Cailie, live locally and are dedicated to serving God and the Long Branch community.
