What to Expect

Immanuel Lutheran Church โ€ข Avilla, Indiana

Whether you're exploring faith, new to the area, or simply visiting, we're honored to have you at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Here's what you can expect when you walk through our doors.

โœ๏ธ Worship Style

Our services follow a traditional liturgical format centered on Godโ€™s Word and Sacraments. Each service includes hymns, readings from Scripture, prayer, confession and absolution, a sermon, and Holy Communion. Worship typically lasts 60 to 75 minutes.

๐Ÿ‘— What Should I Wear?

Some people dress up, others dress casually. Whether you're in jeans or Sunday best, you're welcome here. Come as you areโ€”weโ€™re glad to worship with you.

๐Ÿ‘ถ Children Are Welcome

We love having children in worship! We offer activity bags and a quiet area if needed. Children are always welcome to stay in the service. Sunday School is held before the Divine Service.

๐Ÿž Holy Communion

Immanuel Lutheran practices close communion in accordance with LCMS teaching. If you're not a member of an LCMS congregation, we ask that you speak with the pastor before receiving the Lordโ€™s Supper. This helps us offer the Sacrament in a way that honors Godโ€™s Word and cares for each participant.

๐Ÿš— Parking & Accessibility

Free parking is available next to the church. Our building is wheelchair accessible, and ushers are available to assist you if needed.

โ˜• Fellowship Time

After worship, we invite you to join us for coffee and conversation in our fellowship area. It's a great chance to meet others and feel more at home.
