The best way to learn about Immanuel and become a part of our community is to
experience what we do first hand. On the first Sunday of every month, we host a
Newcomers’ Luncheon where you can meet people, learn the basics of Immanuel, and ask questions. You’ll connect with one of our current members who will serve
as a host and resource for you and your family. You will also receive up-to-date
information about events and activities. Participation in our worship, groups, and
ministries is central to membership at Immanuel.
