Emanuel Lutheran Church began in the year 1919.  At that time, a number of Lutherans of German descent petitioned the joint synod of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and other states for a pastor to serve them.  In 1920 the first pastor accepted the call to serve the small group, and services were conducted in the homes of different members.  The pastor stayed only a short time.  In July of 1920, the congregation received its second pastor.  Under this pastor’s guidance, the first church building was erected on the corner of Avenue A and Dartmouth Streets.  This church served the congregation for 31 years.  The congregation built a school and parsonage, and on September 14, 1952, Emanuel moved into a new church at DuPont and McClellan Streets.

During the years at DuPont and McClellan, Emanuel was served faithfully by Pastor Jerome Spaude, under whose guidance the congregation built a new school and gymnasium onto the church and dedicated it on November 10, 1963.  The congregation grew, and in 1971 the church had a soul membership total of 792.  Emanuel was also served by Pastors John Ruege, Donald Krause, Roland Welch, Larry Cooper, Gary Pieper, and Pastor Lockman.  The current pastor is Jeffrey Schmidt.

In 1991, the congregation purchased 34 acres of land at Beecher and Elms Road.  The congregation of Emanuel began worshiping in the current church in July of 1993.
