A neighborhood church for over half a century.
Immanuel Church began in 1894, and our current home at 68-10 31st Avenue has served the congregation since around the 1960s. Today the church is a gathering place for people of every background, and you're welcome here just as you are.
A few things that guide us.
Immanuel Church exists to make disciples of Jesus by teaching biblical truth, cultivating spiritual growth, and equipping believers to live on mission.
Immanuel Church exists to be a vibrant, healing community where disciples grow, connect deeply, and impact the world with Kingdom-driven passion.
Come as you are, and take your time.

We started as one community, and grew into many.
Founded in 1894 as a German-speaking mission to West Queens, we were a daughter church of the First German Baptist Church in New York City; forty-six charter members met under the direction of Rev. Carl Roth.
For nearly fifty years our ministry was German-speaking. Then in the 1940s an English service began, and over the decades that followed, the church grew into the multilingual family it is today, a true reflection of the neighborhood.
Our purpose has stayed the same since the start: to know Christ and to make Him known.
We link arms with a few trusted ministries.
