Come be a part of what God is up to at Emmanuel Church – Oil Well Road. Emmanuel Lutheran Church recently completed a Capital Campaign to make a heavy investment in God’s mission. We look to break ground on a new 9 million dollar building to provide a 300 person worship space for the Oil Well Road’s growing community. This new building coupled with the campus’ existing facilities are an exciting chapter in our lives as Christ’s disciples and want to share it with you and your family!
As we enter the final chapter of our Fling Wide the Door capital campaign, we celebrate how a bold dream has already taken shape through your incredible generosity and faith. What began as a vision has become a reality - with the Sanctuary and Family Life Center beautifully remodeled, a new Media Center created, and the Chapel thoughtfully updated, all fully funded and already transforming lives. Now, we stand on the threshold of the final, most transformative stage: building The Emmanuel Church on Oil Well Road and creating a vibrant new Atrium at Mooring Line Drive. These spaces will be more than bricks and mortar; they will be places where community is built, faith deepened, and lives forever changed. The finish line is within sight. Now is the time to come together, give boldly, and help turn this final piece of the vision into a reality that will bless generations to come.
Sanctuary at Oil Well Road $10.5M
Emmanuel Lutheran Church is blessed with 38 acres of land on Oil Well Road - a prime location in the heart of one of the fastest-growing areas of Naples. In the coming years, more than 50,000 homes will rise around this property, bringing thousands of new families seeking places to worship, nurture their faith, and build community. Through our worshiping community at Oil Well Road is currently small, it is mighty in spirit and vision. Every week, faithful members gather in a makeshift space, weathering the elements and lifting one another up in prayer and purpose. Now, it’s time to take the next faithful step forward. With the land secured and plans in place, we are preparing to build a permanent church home designed not just for today, but for the generations to come. This church will be appropriately sized for our growing future designed not just for today, but for the generations to come. This church will be appropriately sized for our growing future - a place to welcome, worship, and serve as the surrounding community blossoms. We recognize that this is a long-term investment, with an estimated four-year journey from groundbreaking to completion. But we firmly believe that when we build it, they will come - to worship, to be nurtured in faith, and to be equipped to love and serve others.
