IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH

125-year Anniversary

1409 Pulaski St., Lincoln

Free Organ Concert

April 21, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

 

In 1892, our founding fathers chartered the new Lutheran church in Lincoln, Illinois. On July 3, 1892 the constitution for Immanuel Lutheran Church was signed and adopted, and soon grew to 150 members. Their first church, built at the corner of Pekin Street and Logan Street remained for about the next 60 years. As the congregation continued to grow, the original building did not meet the needs of the congregation. With a new minister and over 13,000 volunteer hours of labor, Immanuel Lutheran members built a new church at 1409 Pulaski Street. This building was dedicated on June 25, 1961.
Immanuel means “God with us” and this is certainly true of our past 125 years. We are blessed to serve as an ELCA congregation under our mission statement of “Living, Caring, and Sharing the Good News of Jesus”. As part of the anniversary celebration, Immanuel Lutheran Church will be hosting a free organ concert, by Springfield musician, Mark Gifford, on April 21, 2017 at 7:00 pm. The church is wheelchair accessible and everyone is welcome to join in this musical evening. Find out more about Immanuel at their website: www.immanuellincoln.org.
