Our Church in Action

Family Friendly Immanuel Lutheran Church received a grant to help engage children of all ages (young and old) of all abilities to be more family friendly. It made us look within and ask ourselves how can we make it easier for families to worship together? In our sanctuary we have a "Pray Ground" that is filled with sensory friendly items that anyone can sit there and engage in while worshiping or we have lap trays where anyone can take the items back to their pews. We have added picture cues to our Easy Worship so visitors and those that need visual pictures to help explain when to stand, sit, along with pictures to show what is next. We offer children's bulletins / worksheets each week that correspond with the Sunday's bible readings. We have adult coloring sheets with colored pencils for adults that like to keep their hands busy. Our new sensory friendly classroom will also be finished soon. Families can come here and not be judged. Be who God created you to be. You will be family when you enter our doors.

Because we are Lutheran Christians, we also believe that nothing that we do can earn this love: it comes to us out of grace alone. We take the Bible so seriously that we can't take it literally. We recognize that it speaks differently in different circumstances; it is not a "how-to" manual, but rather an account of God's great love throughout the generations. Immanuel Lutheran is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA is the most progressive of the Lutheran denominations in the US where women and people in the LGBTQ+ community are pastors and deacons and welcomed in the full life of the church. The ELCA is a denomination that believes God calls us to move outside of the physical walls of a church building into the world. As part of this call, we seek the common good for society and are committed to addressing social and cultural injustice. We are a Reconciling in Christ Congregation.

Youth Group What is Youth Group??? If I had to describe what youth group is like it is full of discover, wonder, joy and family. We learn about bible stories in ways that pertain to our lives and where we are at in our faith journeys. We leave to serve other by doing community service projects, mission projects and going on mission trips. We get to go and enjoy fun nights where we get to be youth in a safe and encouraging environment. We learn life lessons along the way that will hopefully carry over as adults. It is a judgement free zone where youth can be themselves (with a little direction at times.) It is where we may have lesson all planned out but the youth may have experienced something during the week and we change direction and focus on their issues. Youth Group involves fun challenges, games, projects, scripture reading, hands on lessons and more. We know many youth have very busy schedules. Our youth group will be a come when you can.

Tuesday Talk STARTS OCTOBER 14th - SIGN UP TODAY. A new sensory-friendly children’s ministry program offers an inclusive environment tailored to children in grades K - 6th grade with sensory processing differences. This program is designed to create a welcoming space by minimizing sensory overload and providing accommodations that cater to individual needs. This might include using soft lighting, lower volumes, and providing quiet zones where participants can retreat when overwhelmed. Additionally, our sensory-friendly program uses visual aids, hands-on activities, and individualized learning approaches to help participants engage with the material in a way that suits their unique learning styles. By fostering an inclusive atmosphere, sensory-friendly children’s ministry ensures that everyone has the opportunity to explore their faith and build community connections in a comfortable and supportive setting.

The Church Hunger Garden The Church Hunger Garden The Church Hunger Garden The Church Hunger Garden “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! Luke 12:27-28 The Church garden is managed by an amazing volunteers. Seeds are started early in the year. Volunteers help plant, weed, water, mulch and whatever is needed to help the garden produce amazing fruits and vegetables. We also have a compost to stay as eco-friendly as possible. The produce is then donated to several local food pantries. This beautiful garden has produced over 5 tons of produce.
