A Church with Purpose
Immanuel Lutheran Church in Winter Haven, Florida, was founded with a deep commitment to preaching and teaching God's Word as revealed in Scripture. Our congregation strives to maintain the true Biblical teaching centering our theology on Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and victorious resurrection for the sins of the world. We welcome anyone seeking to experience God's grace and love, whether you're new to faith or looking to deepen your spiritual journey.
Our church is dedicated to strengthening faith in the hearts of young people and adults alike. We believe in the power of Christian education and family involvement in nurturing faith, and our Christian Day School is a testament to this commitment. At Immanuel, you'll find a community that embraces traditional Lutheran beliefs while addressing the challenges of contemporary life.
We invite you to join us, whether you're exploring the Gospel for the first time, seeking to grow in your faith, or looking for a welcoming church family. Come as you are, and let God's unchanging truth speak to you in today's ever-changing world.
Join us Sunday @ 10:15 am
