A neighborhood church, since 1894.
More than a century on the corner of 31st Avenue. 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 — we'll meet you at the door.
First time at Immanuel? A few things to know so the morning feels easy.
Parking is behind the church, off 69th St. Our greet team will be out to meet you and walk you in.
Sit wherever feels right. No reserved seats — just open chairs and a few warm faces nearby.
Children are always welcome at Immanuel Church and worship with their families during our Sunday service. We're prayerfully preparing to relaunch a dedicated children's ministry in the future, and we'd love to welcome your family in the meantime.
Stay for the meal in the fellowship hall. It's the easiest place to ask anything — about the church, the faith, or nothing in particular.
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 meeting 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.
