"The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education" (National FFA, 2025).
Immanuel FFA strives to honor Christ and grow mature disciples who will advocate for agriculture in their walk of life, building a deeper understanding of their Creator and all of His creation. We desire students of the Immanuel FFA Chapter to be prepared for the real world that they will face outside of school and that they will point others to Jesus in all that they will accomplish.
