Whether you’re seeking a spiritual home, exploring the faith, or just visiting, we invite you to experience the love and grace of God with us.

Worship With Us

Our liturgy reflects the ancient traditions of the Church, connecting us to generations of believers while grounding us in Scripture and the sacraments.

Join us in reverent, Christ-centered worship.

Rooted in Christ, United in Worship

At Immanuel, our faith, liturgy, and music come together to glorify God and nurture hearts in His truth.

Grounded in Christ. Faithful to Scripture

Our Faith & Theology

We confess the truth of God’s Word as revealed in the Bible and expressed in the Lutheran Confessions. We hold fast to the faith delivered once for all to the saints, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed.

Rooted in Tradition. Alive with the Spirit

Worship & Liturgy

Our worship follows the historic liturgy, joining voices and hearts with Christians across time and place. From prayers to readings to sacraments, every part of our worship points to Christ and reflects the beauty of holiness.

As Long as We Live, There Is Never Enough Singing!

The Gift of Music

Music is central to our worship and spiritual life. With strong congregational singing, traditional hymns, and sacred music, we celebrate the rich musical heritage of the Church.

Living the Faith Together

Fellowship & Discipleship

We gather not only for worship but for friendship, learning, and service. Through Bible studies, social gatherings, and acts of mercy, we build one another up in faith and love—and reach out to our neighbors with the heart of Christ.

Christ’s Love in the City

The Pastor’s Booth

In parks, on sidewalks, and in conversation, we meet people where they are. The Pastor’s Booth is our way of sharing the love, hope, and kindness of Jesus with the people of New York.
