For we are God's workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Our Story [who we are]

Space to help us care and share.

The following are the architects renditions of the proposed Building Faith Addition. The renditions include a street and aerial view as well as the floor plans for the first and second floors along with the basement.

The Building Faith campaign will provide the resources necessary to carry out the expansion and development of our campus. The vision, approved in 2008, addresses the need to improve accessibility and create space to accommodate the growing needs of our congregation.

What, exactly, are we building?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We are at an exciting and historic time in the life of Emmanuel Lutheran Church. This congregation has grown by God’s grace and throughout our 142-year history we have seen key turning points where faithfilled decisions set the course for the future.

I believe we are on the threshold of another such opportunity. Our Building Faith vision and campaign is a modernday call to further God’s work as we address the challenges of a growing membership, a growing ministry and a growing need for space in which to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is far more about “faith” than it is about any “building.” Even without a single brick laid, God will shape us individually and collectively as He works in our church family.
