Emmanuel Lutheran Church
Ministries and Small Groups
-
Children - Lil' Lutherans
The heart of children's ministry at our church is to teach kids about who God is and how God's word applies to their lives in creative and memorable ways. We often think that children are the Church of tomorrow, but these youngest followers teach us that they are just as much the Church of today! We hold many events to help pass on the faith to our littlest Lutherans through our Lil' Lutheran group, weekly Sunday School, and various other seasonal activities.

Youth - LCY
Our youth group consists of young people from 6th to 12th grade. These young disciples are vital to the life of our congregation. They help us see the gospel continuing to be nurtured through learning, witness, and lots of laughter! Our youth group meets most Sunday afternoons for faith formation, fellowship, and fun. We hold frequent service projects as we grow as disciples of Christ Jesus our Lord,

Adults
Don't worry, all the good stuff at our church isn't just for the under 18 crowd! We have plenty of engaging events and gatherings designed to build the faith and community of our adults as well. Young or old, single or married, man or woman—we've got a place for you!

Senior adults - e.s.p.
E.S.P stands for "Emmanuel's Special People." Of course, we know all of God's children are special, and that includes especially our senior adults. The E.S.P. group meets once a month to take trips to learn about what God is up to throughout South Carolina, and the Southeast as a whole. Past trips have included trips to Bower's Farm, a farm that focuses on sustainable use of God's creation from the ground all the way to the animals that will be used for food production, apple picking in North Carolina, and McLeod Farms in McBee, SC to learn about and pick peaches. They always have a great time with one another filled with fun, fellowship, and especially good food!
