Become a Member of Emmanuel

We are happy that you are interested in our church fellowship and mission.  It is our belief that people are drawn to Emmanuel because they are called by God.  So let’s explore what God is doing in your life together.  Emmanuel is a vibrant community with lots of opportunities for fellowship, worship, service, and education.  Let’s find where God is calling you.

What to expect

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

You will notice that our worship services are diverse: liturgical, blended, contemporary, traditional; sometimes we use praise bands and children’s choirs, sometimes organ, adult choirs and soloists. Each of our services is different so we hope you find the right time and the style of worship that is most meaningful to you. One of our services is even bilingual (Spanish and English at 11:30 a.m.)!

Our Sunday ministry for children is vibrant and growing (11:00 a.m.).  There’s a special gathering for every age group, including confirmation classes. Your kids will love it.

There is so much to experience and discover at Emmanuel. We want to welcome you into our community because you are valued by God and called to serve your neighbor in this world.  Our commitment is to encourage and support you in your relationship with God, the Christian community, and with your service to this world.  Come and join the Emmanuel family this Sunday.

Ways to connect

  • Membership:

    This means you want to be a vital part of the life and ministry of Emmanuel, including participating in the more formal responsibilities of choosing pastors and serving on the council.

  • Associate Membership:

    This means you want to be a vital part of the life and ministry of Emmanuel, but your main congregational engagement is at another congregation.

  • Friends of Emmanuel:

    This means you want to be a vital part of the life and ministry of Emmanuel, but prefer to do as a friend of Emmanuel rather than using the title “member.”

I Want to Get Involved. 

Where Do I Start?

Start here

To find out how best to get involved both at Emmanuel and in the community, we can help.

  • Contact the Church Office at (239) 261-0894.

  • Request a visit from one of our pastors.

  • Call the office to arrange an appointment.

  • Fill out an information sheet in the pews on Sunday.

  • Come and Take a Tour of the Sanctuary.

The pastors love making visits and would enjoy getting to know you. There are so many fellowship and service opportunities. Let us assist you in discovering what’s right for you.

If you want to be involved at Emmanuel Lutheran Church take a first step by filling out this membership form and submitting it. 

You can also fill out the form in the red folder in every pew on Sunday and put it into the offering plate. We organize membership evenings two or three times a year for people to come and ask questions about the church.

When you fill out one of these forms or come to the membership gatherings, this will help us to connect with you. 

We also will make you a name tag so that everyone knows your name on Sunday morning.
