Are you new or newish to Immanuel? If so, we would love for you to join us Sunday, August 17th, right after the morning service for a Welcome Lunch in the Adult Classrooms. Please RSVP here to join us for lunch. Hope to see you there!
Community Groups
Community Groups connect you with other believers for the purpose of encouragement and growth in your life and faith. Groups typically gather weekly to pray, study the Bible, and support one another. These groups meet at the church or in area homes and consist of 8-14 people.
For more information about Community Groups, check out Frequently Asked Questions.

Core Seminars (starting 9.14)
- Basics in Biblical Counseling. This 12-week course is for everyone interested in helping others, whether it be formally or informally, with the sufficient help and hope we have in Scripture. You are already counselor (as you talk to friends and family every day); the only question is whether you will be a good and biblical one. This class will help! We will discuss many relevant topics, including anxiety, anger, depression and trauma related issues. Join us! Register here.
- Names of God. (Ladies Study). God reveals His identity, personality, and character through various names of Himself in scripture. As we study these names, we will better understand who God is and our ability to trust Him will increase. Is He your El Elyon… do you pray to Jehovah Rapha… can you trust your Elohim… will you worship your YHWH ? Join us as we exalt the Name of the LORD. Register here.
Kids Ministry Needs
We are so thankful for the amazing team God provides each school year to love and teach the next generation. If you have a desire to join this team, we have a few opportunities available during the 10:30 a.m. Worship Hour (serving monthly):
- Nursery: 2 Adults
- Preschool: 1 Adult teacher
If you’re interested in learning more about these opportunities, please contact Sara Raby (865.310.8236) or fill out an interest form.
Church Work Day
We could use some extra hands (and trucks) to help us clear out our storage unit and tidy up a few spaces at the church. If you’d like to help out, join us at the church on Saturday morning, August 9th at 8:30 a.m. Contact Jared Raby for more details.
