Immanuel Lutheran Church, ELCA

Who We Are

"Emergent Lutheran" honors our ancient roots and the real needs of people today.

Immanuel Lutheran Church is a community of welcome in Christ.
In the hospitality of the Gospel, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, no matter where they come from or where they are on their spiritual journey. Our welcome knows no boundaries of age, race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, economic condition, physical or mental disability. We encourage you to bring your culture, your voice, your whole self. Together with you, we’d like to develop a church with the kind of contagious faith that can influence and inspire an entire community, one life at a time, following Christ where He leads us.

Heb 13:2 - “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it .”

I am a newer member of Immanuel, and treasure this community. I love the sense of God in each person, each gathering, and the incredible outreach here. Each person is accepted as they are.The sermons are awesome, the community life is supportive and nourishing. I can grow and learn and give here.

Immanuel Lutheran Church is a church of welcome to all. The only thing you need is a love of our Lord and a wish to have a meaningful experience. The congregation is friendly. The music is awesome. The sermons are thought provoking. I have been a member of Immanuel for about 15 years now. The very first day, I walked into the sanctuary and was greeted warmly. It felt like I was home among family. Come and visit. I promise you a wonderful worship service and an invitation to come back again as often as you wish.
