Immanuel Lutheran Church

About this church

Immanuel Lutheran Church in Alameda, California, is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Worship takes place on Sundays at 10 a.m. in the church building at 1420 Lafayette Street and is also offered live online through Facebook. Services center on Word and Sacrament, with music and liturgy, and a recent sermon series on the website explains the reasons behind traditional Lutheran worship practices. Weekly worship bulletins and recordings of past services are posted on the website.

Community service is a large part of congregational life. CRECE, a program for Central American refugees in the East Bay, distributes food from the church parking lot every other Friday and uses a room at the church as its office. The church also hosts one of the free take-out meal days of the Dine & Connect program, an interfaith partnership that serves people facing hunger in Alameda, on the last Monday of each month. Ladies Aid supports the congregation through fundraising, special events, and fellowship. The church office is on Santa Clara Avenue, and the parking lot is at the corner of Chestnut Street and Santa Clara Avenue. Office hours vary by appointment, so call 510-523-0659 and confirm times on the website.
