About Us

The Immanuel family is…  a worshiping family… Believing that the worship of God is the highest act of which human beings are capable, Immanuel’s services are joyful, vibrant, and satisfying.  Each Sunday, Immanuel offers three worship services at 8:00, 10:40 and 6:00. 

a learning family

Sunday School … Immanuel’s Sunday School meets at 9:30 each Sunday morning with classes for every age group.  Adult classes are offered for men, women, and couples.   

Library…Books by popular contemporary authors as well as great classics of the faith may be checked out of the library, which is located next to the foyer.  A wide range of magazines, children’s books, and CDs are also available.
