WHO WE ARE...
Immanuel United Church of Christ is a family of faith that seeks to serve Christ and others and seeks to bring faith and life together. Our core values are:
We are fond of saying "whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, YOU are welcome here!
We are a Christ-centered Family of Faith. We believe in genuine hospitality, heartfelt worship, discipleship and faith development, risk-taking mission and service, deep generosity, and we strive to be invitational in all we do.
Like every good family, we have great diversity...Liberal Evangelical Calvinist Lutherans with a dash of Baptists and more than a shake of Disciples, a leaven of Congregationalists sprinkled with Catholics and Episcopalians and a fresh prophetic breeze from Martin Luther King, Jr., Billy Graham, William Sloane Coffin, nurtured over time by the patient and unceasing love of God.
We sometimes play with ways of describing ourselves, including “Feeding Deep Hungers” (we like to eat, and eat well, but find that the spiritual hungers are the most important) or “Mainline sensibility, Evangelical passion, Progressive vision.” We find ourselves drawn not so much to labels as the central core beliefs of Christ, mission and fellowship.
God's grace and the patient and unceasing love of God is what is most important.
- Uniting in Christ
- Listening to God
- Serving His World

What To Expect . . .
When you arrive at Immanuel, parking is in the rear of the building, which is also where the main entrance is--come right in. You will also notice that we have a beautiful campus with a pavilion for outdoor events, including occasional outdoor worship services. We also have a great playground and athletic fields, and a beautiful trail, "Lisa's Faith & Fitness Trail", the winds around the campus of the church that is open to everyone.
Inside Immanuel you will find a Welcome Center with snacks and coffee for a time to chat and relax before or after the service. There are tables to relax and enjoy coffee and conversation or you can mill around and meet. We are friendly and everyone is welcome! There are also Sunday School classes for children and youth as well as Adult Ed Classes.
Worship in our beautiful sanctuary features a blend of traditional and contemporary music, and Bible-based messages that apply to everyday faith and life. You will discover that we are a multigenerational church with young families with babies or children, middle aged adults, as well as seniors are all part of our church family.
