Welcome to Immanuel‘s website. Immanuel has been part of the Houston Heights community since 1919. While we honor the past, we are looking to meet the current and future needs of our members and of our neighbors . We provide opportunities for worship, Bible study, and prayer. We offer services for young families through our Early Childhood and Mother's Day Out programs. Working with local community members and groups, we are committed to renovating our old sanctuary, recognized as a historical landmark, into a multi-use community center. Our new mission statement, Immanuel, God with us-Transforming and Sending, reflects this commitment. Please call or visit if you want to know more about Immanuel. |
Immanuel's old sanctuary building at the corner of Fifteenth and Cortlandt Streets, as seen on the recent Heights Historical Home Tour, is registered as a Historical Site. Immanuel has been working closely with the Houston Heights Association to create a new use for it's old sanctuary building. We are asking both our congregation and the public to work together on raising the funds to rebuild this beautiful and historic building into a community center.
The structure was originally built in two phases. The basement was dedicated in 1926 and was used by Immanuel to worship in, until they could construct the "superstructure" above as a sanctuary. The sanctuary was dedicated in 1932.
