The rich heritage of Emmanuel Pentecostal Church began in 1940 with the installment of a roof over a foundation at the corner of Fourth and metropolitan in south Dallas. Reverend Hart  constructed the roof on his own property and began having services. A year later, Bertha Clinton purchased the property and finished the building. 

Reverend C.H. Lutrick became the pastor in 1943 and the church began to grow and reach out to the city of Dallas. Under Rev. Lutrick's pastorate, a tent and speaker system were purchased and revivals were held. Reverand J.F. Solomon became pastor in 1945, and under his leadership the church was organized and became part of the United Pentecostal Church. 

The church became known as a stable and mature congregation. After completing 34 years of ministry, Pastor Hosch felt it was time to step aside for a younger pastor. He was named Pastor Emeritus and the search for a new shepherd began. 

In June of 1980, Reverend Richard W. Flowers was elected pastor. Under his leadership, renewed enthusiasm and vision has become a reality. In 1983, 8.3 acres of property were purchased in the city of Mesquite at I-635 and New Market Road. In 1995, an additional 4 acres were purchased and construction was started on new facilities. The relocation to Mesquite was completed in December 1996 and the first service held on January 5, 1997.
