FIRST TIME TO IMMANUEL?
Welcome! It is a real joy for us to meet and welcome newcomers and to tell you about all the good things God is doing in our church family. Since 1876 it has been our mission to "lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ."
That means that no matter where you've come from and where you are on your spiritual journey, we want to come alongside to inspire, equip and encourage you to live out a life that will bring glory to God and be a blessing to the world with Christ Jesus in the center.
Immanuel's 150th Anniversary
Each month this year, we’ll be sharing a piece of Immanuel’s history, reflections, and photos as we celebrate 150 years of faith and community. Keep an eye out for special events and services happening throughout the year! All details and sign-ups will be shared right here. Join us in celebrating this milestone!

IMMANUEL'S BEGINNING 1876
REFLECTION - PASTOR MAASSEL
Richard G. Maassel
Immanuel's Pastor; 1961-1997
"May God richly bless you, God's people, as you praise Him for His many blessings. I feel truly blessed in having been with the congregation in some previous celebrations. Former Pastor Rodehorst returned to preach in the 90th celebration. The congregation celebrated its centennial while also celebrating with the village the country's bicentennial. As I think of the many wonderful people at Immanuel with whom I served the Lord over nearly 36 years, my heart overflows with gratitude. I feel fully blessed by all the many members, the congregational leaders, the teachers in the school, the organists/choir directors, custodians, two deaconesses, and eight vicars. Pastor reichmann was a special blessing in his service with me for 20 years, as were teachers Robert Moll and Floyd Leoschke who also served with me for 20 years."
IMMANUEL'S BEGINNING 1876
Immanuel's Beginning
In the mid-1870s, Lutheran families in the Glenview area sought to establish a congregation faithful to the Lutheran Confessions. This applied to Rev. Adam Detzer of Des Plaines, a pastor affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other States. In response, Rev. Detzer began holding services, and by the end of January 1876, the Evangelical Lutheran Church congregation was formally organized.
The first worship services of Immanuel Lutheran Church were held in a schoolhouse on what is now Shermer Road, but when the building had to be moved, the congregation resolved to construct its own church. On March 5, 1876, trustees were elected, and a contract was soon let to build a church on a two-acre site on West Lake Avenue (now Chestnut Avenue). Through generous donations of labor and funds totaling $1,530, the congregation completed the church, laying the cornerstone on April 22, 1876, and dedicating it on June 25, 1876.
At the same time, the congregation decided to build a parsonage and a school, and Rev. John Zimmermann of Rosehill, Texas, accepted the call as the first resident pastor and was joyfully installed, though he resigned after two years due to ill health. During the following vacancy year, pastoral duties were shared by Rev. G. Loeber and Rev. Adam Detzer.
