Immanuel Lutheran Church – Building Relationships, Nurturing Community

Do you sometimes have questions about faith? Immanuel is passionate about thinking critically and acting faithfully, following the compassionate peaceful path of Jesus. We seek to support and challenge each other in being God’s loving presence in our neighborhood and world in very concrete ways. We are people who trust God’s promises—so we can live, act and vote out of hope, rather than fear. Immanuel is a place of welcome for all people – no exceptions!
