"1874
Our history as a church begins roughly 22 years after Wentzville was founded as a village (1855). Founded by the Rev. Fredreich W.G. Matuschka of New Melle, MO, the original name of Immanuel Lutheran Church was The German Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church of Wentzville. The word “evangelical”, part of the name of the church, means “Good News” or “Gospel” which was and will always be the aim of our church – to proclaim the good news of Jesus and be a refuge of peace in Jesus for those with whom we interact and those who enter our doors.
"2009
After over 100 years in the original church building, an opportunity arose for Immanuel Lutheran Church to move south of town. Through the hard work of dedicated staff and members, the move was made to our current facility which is built on land donated by a generous and humble church family. This transition has allowed us more space and broader ministry opportunities than we were able to offer before.
"TODAY
Our guiding principle in all that we have done as a church from 1874 to today remains unchanged: Jesus died for us and rose again. Jesus is the source of all goodness and joy. He has embraced us in His love, equipped us by His Holy Spirit and calls us to engage with the world around us. We consider it a joy to play a small part in sharing God’s love - in our homes, in our neighborhood, in our community, our nation and beyond. We would be humbled for you to join us." ~ Immanuel Lutheran Church
