Immanuel Lutheran Church Council

Note from Council President

Immanuel Lutheran Church is currently in a transition period between seated Pastors, where we now embrace a rare opportunity to evaluate, observe, and discern all aspects of our faith community.  During this time, we are to be engaged in self-evaluation, defining who we are as a Body of Christ, and seeing how we might best serve the faith needs of our congregation and neighbors. 

This interim period is brand new to Immanuel, after having the same pastor for 25 years.  Handled properly, this can be a season of renewal. Our hearts and minds are open to what God has planned for tomorrow’s Immanuel Lutheran Church. 

The Council’s responsibility is to meet the governance needs, ensure fiscal responsibility, and help maintain a strong and forward-thinking church.  

The congregation’s responsibility during the transition will be to pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to ensure that God’s will directs our future.  Together, we need to be prayerfully engaged, united in faith, and keenly open to where God leads us.

We welcome new community members to help guide us in fulfilling the Christian needs of the Crosby area and help us grow during this special transition period.
