For well over a decade Immanuel's Mission statement has been "Building one body in Christ." By this we mean that God has given us a purpose: making disciples of Christ of all peoples and bringing them into the fellowship of the Church, which He calls the "Body of Christ." From worship to picnics, from Women's Service Organization to the Immanuel Players, from our Christian Day and preschool to our commitment to our shut-ins, from our music ministry to Vacation Bible School, all of our activities are geared to further our mission: "Building one Body in Christ."

History:
 Immanuel was founded in 1881 and is now a congregation of about 1400 baptized members. We are part of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, which serves as an adviser and supporter in our local, national, and world ministries.

Immanuel's history dates back to December 9, 1877, when the first Lutheran services was held in Danbury by the Rev. C.V. Stutz for a group originating in Rondout, New York. On January 23, 1881, 22 men organized the "German Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Church U.A.C. (Unaltered Augsburg Confession) of Danbury, Connecticut", now known as Immanuel Lutheran Church.

We are to this day indebted to the founding fathers for their dedication and foresight. Their first effort as a Christian congregation was that of opening a Christian Day School. This was done in 1881 on Patch Street. In 1882, however, land was purchased on Foster Street, the present school site, and on this land a church, school and parsonage were soon built. Land on Tamarack Avenue was purchased in 1903 for a cemetery.
