I'm New

Immanuel Lutheran Church
605 S. Walnut Street Seymour, IN 47274

Arriving 10-15 minutes early would give you plenty of time to find a parking space and seat in the sanctuary. If you arrive once services start, you'll need to use Doors 1, 2, or 3 on the West side of the building nearest Walnut St. 

We have ample parking in the lots on the North and the South of the church building. If lots are full, street parking is available on local side streets.

Worship is an important time when God connects us to himself and his family. We follow a pattern of worship designed to keep Jesus in the center and involve everyone in praying, hearing, and singing. The orders of service used in the hymnal provide variety while using phrases right out of the Bible. These orders also connect us to Christians around the world and are not hard to learn. Our worship is often enhanced by gifted choirs and instrumentalists.

Children are always welcome to worship with their family but if they get fussy or restless, we have a Wee Wiggle Room, a nursery with toys and books that the children can use and a close-circuit TV streaming the service during all services. We also have a cry room that can be accessed, also with the service streaming. Just ask an usher for help finding these locations.

You'll connect to a Christ-centered message straight from the Bible during each of our services and Bible studies. A variety of classes are offered on Sunday mornings and throughout the week.

9:00am & 11:15am

In contemporary North America, we often think of “membership” like a buffet line. We sign up for gyms, clubs, and organizations, picking and choosing what seems to suit us. But membership in the Church is something much deeper. It is not simply about joining another group or adding a name to a list; it is about being welcomed into a family of faith, becoming part of this particular community of believers, and sharing in the blessings of life and salvation that God gives here in this place.

As you seek to discern whether or not to become a member at Immanuel, we encourage you to frequently attend worship, join us for events and activities, and take time to meet other members and our Pastors. We would love to help you feel connected and included here!

To support this, we invite those who are interested to attend our Adult Instruction Class: “What Do Lutherans Believe and Why?” This class is designed to explore the essential teachings of the Bible about life, God, the world, and the future. Whether you are new to the Christian faith, curious about the Lutheran tradition, or a lifelong member looking for a good review, this course provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding and faith.

Some of the topics we will discuss include:

• The Bible's perspective on evil in a world God made good.
• How Christians can speak about God's creation in view of current scientific theories.
• Why Scriptures written long ago remain reliable and relevant today.
• How we can be certain of salvation through Jesus Christ.
• How Lutheran beliefs are similar to and different from those of other Christians

Through the use of the Bible, a workbook, the Catechism, and open discussion, participants will discover real answers to important questions, including the ones you want to ask.

This class will prepare non-members to join the church, but there is no obligation to do so. It is simply an opportunity to learn, explore, and grow in faith.

If you are interested, please call the church office at 812-522-3118 to inquire about upcoming class dates.
