Immanuel Lutheran Church was organized in 1870. The needs of the congregation have been provided for in three different sanctuaries, the present one having been dedicated in 1963 to accommodate a growing church. A new addition providing much needed classroom, office and fellowship space was dedicated in 1996. With the Lord's blessing and through the work of its members we have grown from a handful of faithful Christians to a body of nearly 3,000 members.

Immanuel is joined in partnership with over 6,000 congregations and nearly 3 million persons in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, an international church body. Together we support mission work in over 30 foreign countries as well as in the United States, train church workers through 17 colleges and seminaries and publish resources for worship and education.

Our Purpose:

The Bible teaches that when God calls us to faith and new life as individuals He also calls us to a responsible life of service in partnership with His people. We understand our purpose together to be threefold:

• to cultivate spiritual growth through worship, preaching, teaching, the administration of Baptism and Holy Communion, and personal devotion and prayer

• to reach outward to the community and world with the good news of forgiveness in Jesus Christ

• to show Christ-like love and concern to members of our church, community, and world, especially in times of need. * See Immanuel's Former Pastors *
