About

Emmanuel means “God is with us.” We believe this, and demonstrate it through a friendly atmosphere, a strong mission program, a vibrant music ministry, our preschool, a partnership with Lutheran Campus Ministry, by being Reconciled in Christ, hosting the Moscow Community Garden, and many other ways. Everyone is welcome! We belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
