Dear Friend,
Greetings in the name of our risen Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ! Welcome to our Web Site. It is our hope that this web
site will enable to you to discover and understand more about the many
ministries we have at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in Freeport,
Illinois. While our ministries are many, our mission is but one — to
connect people with the life-saving Word of God. At the heart of that
Word is the Good News that in Jesus, our Heavenly Father has saved
us, not part of the way or even most of the way. He has saved us all
the way! What we do as individual Christians and as a family of faith
is done only to express our undying thanks to Him for being our Savior.
Part of that work is reflected in our theme for this program year—“Mission,
Here, There and Everywhere.”.
Though Immanuel began long ago in 1877, we
are in many ways a very young congregation. Since the relocation of
our school in 1984 and our church in 1993 to our present location, we have
grown in programs, worship and ministries. We have families of all
ages and many young families with lots of children! Our Sunday School
(which is called “Faith Odyssey”), our Christian elementary school,
and youth programs are exciting and vibrant! We offer a wide variety
of fellowship, service, and music programs as well.
You might have some questions about us and our
ministries after reviewing some or all of these web site pages. If
so, please contact us. We are here for you and would be pleased to
hear from you!
May God, our very Best Friend, bless you this
day and always!
Pastor Willis Schwichtenberg and Pastor Richard
O. “Ros” Schultz
Thank You

Mission Statement:
