Our Leaders

Focused on lifelong learning and engagement, the Faith Formation team coordinates programs, activities, and classes for children, youth, families, and adults of all ages. Whether you’re interested in Sunday School, youth groups, bible studies, Confirmation, or gathering folks for intergenerational activities that celebrate faith and fun, this is the group for you!

As you might imagine, Immanuel’s Finance team keeps a close eye on our congregation’s financial matters. Reviewing monthly reports, preparing budgets, and making recommendations to the Congregation Council regarding financial matters are all tasks this group takes on.

Immanuel is proud to be a welcoming, social ministry minded congregation in our Watertown community. The Mission & Outreach team is responsible for maintaining relationships with our community partners, gathering up volunteers and resources, and leading the congregation in making sure all people are invited and accepted in all areas of our ministry and life together!

Just like at your house, the building and property we share as a church family needs to be cared for and maintained. The Properties team is the group involved with larger, long-term capital projects, quick fixes, and everything in between!

All of us have gifts of time, talent, and treasure to share, and the Stewardship team is responsible for helping us discover our God-given gifts and find ways to utilize them. They also coordinate an annual stewardship campaign that helps the congregation prepare for the budgeting process.

With the help of our staff and volunteers, the Worship & Music team makes manages the volunteers and supplies needed for our worship services and music ministries. This group also creates or purchases the decorations that adorn our worship space and coordinates the purchase of flowers for Christmas & Easter celebrations.

In addition to the six standing committees, Immanuel is blessed with leaders on several other committees and boards.

The Endowment Fund Board maintains Immanuel’s Endowment and distributes money for ministry and mission.

The Cemetery Committee is responsible for the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery and maintains and makes use of Immanuel’s Cemetery Endowment Fund.
