Immanuel Church has become a gathering place for the nations of Woodside—and a church where following Jesus shapes real, everyday life. Wherever you're starting from, there's room here to discover Jesus, find community, and live with purpose. Neighbors from every background have found a family behind these doors—and there’s room for you too.
Walking into a new church takes a little courage. Here’s the honest picture of a Sunday at Immanuel, so you know exactly what you’re walking into.
We begin at 10:30 AM at 68-10 31st Ave in Woodside. The service includes singing, prayer, and a message from the Bible that speaks to everyday life—work, family, decisions, doubts. Come as you are; there’s no dress code and nothing you need to know in advance.
Woodside is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world, and our congregation reflects it. You’ll be greeted at the door, never singled out, and free to simply observe. Most Sundays, people linger afterward to talk—you’re welcome to join or slip out quietly.
Questions are welcome here. Teens and young people have a dedicated youth ministry, and when you’re ready to go deeper, our midweek Bible studies and prayer nights are open to everyone—no background in church required.
Meeting Jesus, growing as His disciples, and serving our community—three rhythms at Immanuel. We're here to help you know Him, grow in His Word, build meaningful relationships, and live out your faith every day. Pick a place to start.
Sundays we open Scripture and apply it to the life you're actually living—work, family, decisions, doubts. Press play on this Sunday's message, or join us in person this week. No background in church or the Bible is needed—just bring your questions, and explore who Jesus is at your own pace. If a message raises something you'd like to talk through, our pastors are glad to listen.
Following Jesus is something done with others. It's where disciples are formed—knowing Him, growing in His Word, building real relationships, and learning to live out faith every day. Our weekly Bible studies resume this fall and are available online, and throughout the year we gather in person for prayer nights and seasonal discipleship opportunities. There's no perfect place to start; there's only a people to start with. Some of us have followed Jesus for decades; others are just beginning to ask honest questions. Both belong here, and both are still growing.
Immanuel exists to reflect the truth and love of Jesus to our neighbors. Back-to-school backpacks and free winter coats when families need them. Food giveaways and seasonal gatherings when we can. Whatever the season, the same thing underneath: the touch of Jesus Christ for this community, in practical and meaningful ways—disciples who live out their faith by serving the people right next door.
“No matter what your background, our church feels like home.”
