Immanuel Lutheran Church was created over 100 years ago by a small group of families from Sweden. We have grown into a congregation of nearly 200 baptized members. We are delighted to welcome you to our church.
ALL ARE WELCOME
Immanuel Lutheran Church is a community of welcome in Christ. That welcome offers a place of safety and assurance for all, free of violence or contempt, bigotry or judgement. In the hospitality of the Gospel, Immanuel is a “Reconciling in Christ” congregation making explicit that this welcome invites gay and lesbian persons into membership and the full sacramental and general life of this congregation.
Our Vision: A world where all are given opportunities to experience God’s grace and love.
Our Mission: Immanuel is an all welcoming community comprised of members with many gifts. We are a sanctuary of faith – learning, sharing and serving through the grace of God and the Gospel of Christ.
