Holy Emmanuel Lutheran Church: A Place of Worship and Community
Holy Emmanuel Lutheran Church is a place of worship and community located in the heart of the Twin Cities. For over 100 years, Holy Emmanuel has been a beacon of hope and faith for those seeking spiritual guidance, fellowship, and support.
At Holy Emmanuel, we believe that everyone is welcome regardless of their background or beliefs. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can come together to worship God, grow in their faith, and serve others.
Our Services
We offer a variety of services throughout the week to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Our Sunday morning service is our most popular service with traditional hymns accompanied by an organist or pianist. We also have contemporary services on Saturday evenings for those who prefer more modern music.
In addition to our regular services, we offer special services throughout the year such as Christmas Eve candlelight service, Ash Wednesday service, Maundy Thursday communion service, Good Friday Tenebrae Service (Service of Darkness), Easter Sunrise Service followed by breakfast at church.

- Music Ministry: Our choir performs during worship services as well as special events throughout the year.
- Outreach Ministry: We partner with local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Feed My Starving Children to help make a difference in people's lives both locally and globally.
