CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 EMMANUEL YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS! This year, Emmanuel’s Youth Scholarship Committee selected eleven outstanding students based on their active involvement in church life, participation in youth ministry, commitment to serving the community, and dedication to their educational goals.
Since its inception 16 years ago, the scholarship program has awarded 86 scholarships—this year’s total of $9,500 brings the cumulative disbursement to an inspiring $96,000.
Please join us in praying for these exceptional young people as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their journey. We are incredibly proud of each of them!
This meaningful program exists thanks to the vision and generosity of our founding partners, Marge Herbst and her late husband, Charlie, along with many others who have faithfully supported the fund over the years. If you would like to contribute to the Youth Scholarship Fund and help invest in the future of our young people, please make your check payable to Emmanuel Lutheran Church and write “Youth Scholarship” in the memo line.
Thank you for helping us encourage and equip the next generation!

REFRESHING THE CHAPEL: We are excited to share that the remodel of our chapel is nearing completion! The installation of furnishings will begin next week, and we are eagerly anticipating that the space will be ready for use shortly thereafter. We are deeply grateful to a generous donor who has made this entire project possible through the capital campaign, as all costs have been covered in full by their gift. No general funds have been used for this renovation. Thank you for your continued support and patience throughout this process. We look forward to welcoming you back to our beautifully updated space, where we can continue to grow in faith and draw closer to one another in the love of Christ.
