Welcome To Emmanuel Lutheran Church

We are a Christ-centered community where God’s Spirit transforms/guides our lives as we worship, learn, love, share and serve.

When you come to Emmanuel, our hope is that you feel like you’re a part of the community. Our ultimate desire, as a body of devoted followers of Jesus, is to create an environment where people can experience the presence of God in a life-transforming way. From a cup of freshly brewed coffee to our unique and passionate generational ministries, we want to give you and your family the opportunity to get connected. We believe that church is more than a weekend service, it is about allowing every person to engage with God in a personal and intimate way.

We have a long history, dating back to the late 1950’s in the Naples area.  Our downtown location, at 777 Mooring Line Dr., is the central campus of our two ministry sites which extend throughout our Southwest Florida community.

For many in today’s world, the last thing on their mind is joining a “religious organization” or thinking about going to church on Sunday mornings.  Our website is intended to make it easier for you to explore our worshipping community and have many opportunities to grow with others in the Christian faith, becoming connected and engaged in the story of Jesus Christ.

For over 60 years, Emmanuel Lutheran Church has been ministering and growing in Southwest Florida. We are inviting, welcoming and engaging community serving individuals, families and couples of all backgrounds.

Come join us!
