Emmanuel Lutheran Church

Welcome to Emmanuel, a faithful, independent Lutheran congregation nearly 125 years of mission work in Southside Columbus. We hope you will visit us for our regularly scheduled services on Sundays and Wednesdays or for one of our special events. Emmanuel is focused on providing:

Meaningful Worship. Emmanuel’s services are rich with biblical content, Christian symbolism, and are traditional in style, celebrating God’s mercy through the ancient western liturgy. Services are posted on our YouTube channel, ColumbusLutheran, as soon as possible (usually by Tuesday). Subscribe to our channel with notifications on to receive an email alert about when the service is posted.
Dynamic Youth Ministry. Along with Sunday School classes and youth confirmation classes, Emmanuel offers monthly events for youth (ages 10+) such as overnights, outings, and service projects. For younger children (ages 2–9) we have Kids’ Night Out and other events that teach the faith while having fun.
Biblical Teaching. Emmanuel’s services and Sunday classes teach the Bible; our small groups gather for spring and fall Bible classes. Our pastor is a well published author in biblical studies who makes the Bible understandable for people today.
