Emanuel was founded over 100 years ago by a small group of Swedish immigrants. In subsequent years, St. Paul Lutheran Church, established by a small group of finnish Lutherans located on Mechanic Street closed it's doors with many members joining Emanuel. Now with a larger church and hopes of growing even more, Emanuel moved to its present facility in 1974, with members coming from many surrounding communities. Today, Emanuel finds deep joy and strength in a wide diversity of people. Emanuel Lutheran Church is a congregation in the New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The Worship of God and the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the center of our congregational life.
We believe that Jesus Christ has called us along with all Christians to worship and to share the good news of our salvation through our words and actions. It is in this common calling that we find our identity and derive our purpose.
We are blessed by the regular hearing and experiencing of God's word through the reading of Scripture, preaching, teaching, liturgy, and the reception of the Sacraments.
We are inspired to ministry through these things. Our worship is distinguished by the celebration of the Lord's Supper every Sunday morning. We believe that communing with God and with each other as members of the body of Christ is an indispensable and infinitely rewarding act of worship.
It is chiefly in this action as a community of believers that we are strengthened by God and by each other for the service of the Gospel each week.
