On Neighbor Sunday we practice being a neighborhood church! How? One way is by hearing from our monthly Ministry Partner, and another way is by slowing down between services to know each other better—putting on a name tag, enjoying a donut, and hanging out a bit longer in the Atrium to chat.

See you there!

Immanuel seeks to make space for stillness, prayer, and revelation from God. Building on our ongoing Worship & Prayer services, Evening Prayer & Song incorporates the historic prayers of the Book of Common Prayer with gospel, folk, and jazz.

Whether you’re curious about liturgical worship or seeking intentional space with God, this gathering offers a chance to slow down, listen, and engage with God.

Come join us on October 25th from 4 to 6pm for Immanuel's annual Fall Festival! We will have fun activities for all ages and stages!

One of the main ways we can engage with scripture well is by asking, “what was the historical context in which these stories were written?” This class seeks to answer that question. Join us to learn more about the historical context behind the five main eras that span the story of scripture.

How do we faithfully steward our Christian witness in the midst of political division?

We’ll gather for an evening of worship, conversation, prayer, and reflection as we consider how we can remain rooted in Christ and faithful to our witness throughout the election season.

Led by the And Campaign, we’ll have an opportunity to pray together, and explore things like:

• What Scripture teaches about our identity as citizens of God's Kingdom before any earthly nation or political movement.

• How Christians can hold deep convictions while practicing humility, charity, and love toward those with whom they disagree.

• The ways both conservative and progressive political movements can shape—or distort—our Christian witness.

• How believers can engage difficult cultural issues with courage, wisdom, and hope while remaining faithful to the gospel.

Whether you're feeling exhausted by today's political climate, looking for a healthier way to engage difficult issues, or seeking to better reflect the character of Christ in your civic life, we invite you to join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion and meaningful conversation.

On Neighbor Sunday we practice being a neighborhood church!

How? One way is by hearing from our Ministry Partner, Heartbound, who will share how to care for our incarcerated neighbors. Another way is by slowing down between services to know each other better--putting on a name tag, enjoying a donut, and hanging out a bit longer in the Atrium to chat.

See you there!

Immanuel Neighbor Cohort is now the primary space for growth, support, and formation for our Partner Champions—those offering support in prisons, community centers, in other countries, and the streets.

This cohort will consist of four gatherings designed to equip us to faithfully neighbor, led by the Resilient Communities Center. The cohort is open to: current champions, developing champions, and those looking to receive training for a potential champion role.

First meeting will be Sept 21, 7:30–9pm (Virtual), consisting of resilience mapping, neighborhood asset frameworks, and honest naming of what's hard. Led by Resilient Communities Center.

Know someone at Immanuel who should be a future champion? They can start the cohort this September, so consider bringing them with you.

On this Sunday, we will create space where the whole family can worship together, and kids can experience the fullness of a Sunday worship service. Kids K-5th grades will join their families for worship in the sanctuary and remain with them throughout the entirety of the service at both 9 & 11am. Kids Ministry will be available for kids 0-PreK.

This short seminar from Lazarus offers a practical and compassionate introduction to engaging with neighbors experiencing homelessness. Through stories, lessons learned, and practical tools, participants explore how healthy boundaries, simple acts of generosity, and treating every person with dignity can foster genuine kinship and meaningful connection.

Are you interested in being in a Neighborhood Group this year? On August 16th, you are invited to our Neighborhood Group Meet & Greet! Stop by the tables in the Atrium and meet representatives from Immanuel's different Neighborhood Groups in between services and after the 11am!

If you are a current partner champion or are interested in learning more about what it means to come alongside one of our local partners as a champion, we invite you to join us for a lunch & learn on Sunday, August 9th from 1-2pm in the sanctuary. During this time, we will be introducing a new Partnership Cohort, a network where partner leaders and lay champions gather together four times a year to be spiritually formed while working toward neighborhood flourishing in Atlanta. Every gathering is designed as a transformative experience — lament, renewal, adaptive leadership, and celebration — because we believe the work of neighborhood transformation has to form the people doing it.

Move-Up Sunday is the Sunday when everyone who is old enough moves up to their new age-appropriate class. It's also our Kindergarten Celebration, where rising Kindergartners will be celebrated at both the 9am and 11am services and be given a small gift to let them know how proud we are of them as they take the big step into elementary school. All rising Kindergartners should begin worshiping in church with their parent(s) on August 2nd. They will then dismiss to the elementary classes with children grades K-5 just before the sermon begins.

Students and teachers, bring your backpacks to church so we can bless you before the school year begins! You will be invited up at the end of each service for a blessing.

We will not be meeting for our regular church services on Sunday, July 5th, as a sabbath practice. Enjoy time with your families and/or visit another church in the area!

On Sunday, June 28th, we will gather for communion in the atrium at 10am and hold space for prayer and quiet reflection in the sanctuary. We will not have our regularly scheduled 9 and 11am services.

We love our Immanuel volunteers! If you serve in any aspect of church life, join us at Sceptre Brewing! We want to thank you by treating you to an evening hang-out featuring beer and trivia (led by our own Evan LaForge!). There will be prizes! :)
