Few pastors in the area have led the same church for 32 years. Brother Daniel Swartz, pastor of Emmanuel Bible Church in Cadiz, holds that rare distinction.
And his church now holds the distinction of being the latest Proud Sponsor of The Way.
Emmanuel Bible Church was started in 1982 by local families who felt the need for a Trigg County church that emphasized the systematic teaching of God’s Word. In January 1983 the church was officially charged with the name Logos Christian Fellowship Church. Later that year, they called Daniel Swartz to be their full-time pastor.
In the 1990s, the church underwent two significant changes. It changed its name to the present one in April 1996. In August of that year, the church – which had been meeting in an American Legion building – hired an architect to design a new sanctuary. The present sanctuary and foyer were completed in October 1998.
Emmanuel Bible Church is located at 2887 Hopkinsville Road in Cadiz. Sunday School starts at 9:45 a.m., followed by worship services at 10:45 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
