Adult Faith Formation Programs

Through adult faith formation programs at Immanuel Church we seek to deepen our relationship with God, and grow in our understanding of God’s vision for us and our world. We encourage you to participate in these programs, and to invite others to join you. Our hope is that such opportunities for learning and spiritual growth will enable us to deepen our friendship with God and one another, so that we may be ambassadors of the justice and love of God.

We are delighted that you found your way to the website of Immanuel Congregational Church, United Church of Christ! Our hope is that this introduction to Immanuel will inspire you to worship with us on Sunday morning at 10am (9:30am in July & August). In our glorious sanctuary you will find a warm welcome, inspiring and provocative worship and the opportunity to be centered in the life and joy of God.

As you explore Immanuel through our website, we invite you to experience the basic ways in which we seek to grow in faith: through worship, education, mission, fellowship, stewardship and membership. These sections of the website are devoted to each of these dimensions of our life, and you will be able to read the stories of people whose lives have been changed by these experiences of ministry.

Whether you are a newcomer to the greater Hartford region, have lived here all of your life, or are simply visiting the area for business or vacation, you are most welcome to Immanuel Church!

Yours in Christ,

The Rev. Dr. Edward Horstmann
Senior Pastor
