Emmanuel Ev. Lutheran Church (Soest)

Welcome to Emmanuel, Soest!

Services are Thursday at 7:00pm and Sunday at 8:00 and 10:00am.  The 10:00am service is livestreamed via our Facebook page (see below).   Sunday School for age 3 – 8th grade and Adult Bible Class are held between services.

Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Soest, has been serving southeast Allen County Lutherans since 1845 through the preaching of God’s Word and the administration of His Sacraments. Emmanuel is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the largest confessional Lutheran church body in America. We are a confessional, creedal, sacramental, and biblical church, and we welcome you to worship with us.

If you’re not sure what those words in the last sentence mean, a quick primer:

• Confessional: We believe, teach, and confess the faith as described in the Lutheran Confessions, laid out in the Book of Concord of 1580.
• Creedal: We get the word “creed” from the Latin “credo”, meaning “I believe”. We hold to the three ecumenical creeds believed by all Christians across time and space, namely The Apostle’s Creed, The Nicene Creed, and The Athanasian Creed. 
• Sacramental: We rejoice in God’s gift of his sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion, which He has commanded us to observe and promised to attach His saving grace.
• Biblical: We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word and is the only infallible source of authority for the Church.

Prayer of the ChurchThe Holy Trinity4 June 2023In peace, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.For the Church of the Holy Lord God, called out of darkness into His marvelous light and purchased with the precious blood of Christ, that she would be kept in the true faith, without error, schism or compromise, until He welcomes her home as His spotless Bride, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.That the light of Christ would shine through us so that others may see our good works and give glory to our Father, who with the Son and the Spirit created all things, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.For the protection of our youth from all sin and temptation; for broken families, that they would confess their sins and forgive each other as Christ has forgiven them; for those who celebrate their marriage anniversaries, that their love may never grow weary; and for our elderly as they cope with physical limitations, that they may cling to God’s mercies, which are new every morning, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.For the preservation of government and law to protect the weak and foster godly virtue; for our president, governor and all who make, administer and judge our laws; for the armed forces, emergency medical workers and those who inform us; and for those who would oppress with mistruth, violence or fear to be frustrated, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.For all who are sick, lonely, whose hearts are heavy with grief, or who are in any need; and that they would be healed and given relief by the Lord who upholds His creation and will, at the last, put an end to the curse of sin, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.For all who receive the blessed Sacrament, that they may show forth the fruits of the Spirit in lives of faith, repentance and goodness, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.Hear us, heavenly Father, for the sake of Christ Jesus, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. … See MoreSee Less
