About Immanuel
Immanuel Lutheran Church (ELCA) is a neighborhood parish dedicated to
serving God and neighbor. Immanuel prides itself on its focused
vision and warm and inviting atmosphere. We offer refreshing worship
services with relevant preaching and engaging music. Our worship
seeks to blend the best of old and new, Lutheran traditions and global
influence.
As our congregation grows, so does our outreach to members and the
community. Immanuel is situated on Snelling Avenue near several
colleges. The congregation has embraced the college students,
starting a group called "Avenues", specifically for young adults
in their twenties. Immanuel also has a Care Team Ministry to the homebound members of
our congregation.
Immanuel has a community night every Wednesday, which includes dinner, bible
study and many other activities. Immanuel strives to provide a variety of
ministry opportunities for all persons including social action and legislative
awareness, service to the poor, a comprehensive music program (choir and
handbells), fellowship circles, and much more.
Our congregation is committed to all generations at Immanuel, including the
youth. Immanuel provides excellent, meaningful activities and Christian
education for all ages in a safe environment. Youth have a representative
on the Church Council. They also participate on all committees, in the
worship service and all major decisions within the church.
Immanuel is a member of the St. Paul Area Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America.
