Mission Festival 2025

Immanuel Lutheran Church is excited to host its annual Mission Festival weekend on Saturday, September 13 through Sunday, September 14! 

What is mission festival?

The mission festival is an engaging event designed to celebrate, support, and promote the outreach and mission efforts of the church community. This festival serves as an opportunity for the congregation to come together, reflect on our mission goals, and strengthen our commitment to serving Christ both locally and globally.


The mission festival is more than just an event; it is a celebration of Immanuel Lutheran Church's mission work, an opportunity for education and engagement, and a call to action for the entire congregation. Through worship, fellowship, and outreach activities, the mission festival energizes and mobilizes us to actively participate in and support mission efforts.
