Throughout the year there are a number of fellowship opportunities at Immanuel. Be sure to check out our calendar to see the schedule for various events, activities, and Bible Studies.
Our Evangelism Board organizes activities throughout the year that we will add to the calendar as they are scheduled as well as overseeing the fellowship groups that are sponsored by Immanuel. We generally have a Bingo Night in January, a Jigsaw Puzzle Contest in March, an Easter morning breakfast and egg hunt, an outdoor service at Camp Wartburg on the first Sunday of June followed by a picnic, and a Chili cook-off in October. Other events are scheduled when possible.
Here are some of the ongoing fellowship opportunities we have going on.
During Lent & Advent
Prior to our evening midweek services, various groups host dinners in the multipurpose room at 5:00 p.m. All are welcome.

For Junior High and High School Students
BASIC (Brothers And Sisters In Christ) Youth Group – Grades 6-12
In addition to Bible and Topic Study on Sunday mornings, the youth gather together to build one another up and have a fun time of fellowship. Throughout the year BASIC serves the community, goes on retreats, and overall strives to make stronger disciples of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
