Romans 12:10 - Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves: Christ calls us to serve and care for others. We believe in the importance of giving and receiving care as a reflection of our faith.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care at Immanuel goes beyond Sunday. While we love to hear from you on Sunday, we welcome listening to you throughout the week as well. Pastoral care covers more than delivering sermons at the weekend services. If we cannot personally meet your needs, we will be happy to recommend someone who can!
Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals
Baptisms, weddings, and funerals all have something in common: all are immensely important events in people’s lives and are treated as such at Immanuel. In each case, we will personally walk you through the process. If you have any questions or simply want more information, please contact the Church Office at immanuel@ilcp.org or 847-359-1549.
