Our Mission

Immanuel Lutheran Church, Guided by the Holy Spirit,
Is a growing family of believers in Christ, Welcoming all God's children,  Joyfully worshipping God through word and sacrament,  and serving our neighbors with love.


About Immanuel

Situated on the corner of Snelling and Goodrich in St. Paul, across from Macalester College, Immanuel Lutheran Church (ELCA) is a historic Lutheran congregation seeking to be a spiritual and practical blessing in our neighborhood community and in our world today.

Immanuel seeks to be hospitable, to welcome the stranger, and to practice the equality of all people.  Neither race, gender, economic class, sexual orientation, age, nor even creed will prevent us from welcoming people as brother or sister and a child of God fully.

Our worship is rooted deeply in the liturgy, but unbound by a singular cultural form.  We seek to express connection with our global neighbors and partners in our prayer and in our music, as well as in our service and giving.

Our serving seeks to make a difference for the most vulnerable among us and around us: children and aged, impoverished and homeless, lonely and disabled, hungry and sick.  We emphasize volunteering in hands-on service, as well as being generous with our resources.  Multiple ministries, teams and efforts address the needs we see around us as best we can, some by advocating and giving voice, others by pitching in with our hands.

Our recently renovated space is both a practical blessing and symbolic of the life we seek to embody.  We have created useful and hospitable spaces for many in our community to gather in and to enjoy.  Immanuel houses children's programs of daycare, art-learning, and music enrichment.  We have a variety of groups and resources for seniors.  Two other worshipping communities share our space on Sundays.

Immanuel seeks to create space for diverse people to gather in God's grace.
