Church Offerings
We encourage you to partner with Immanuel using your time, your talent, and your treasure; all of which further His command to “Go and make disciples.” [Matthew 28:19] Your donations enable Immanuel to continue sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with neighbors near and far. Immanuel Lutheran Church tithes 10 percent of donations to ministries outside our doors.

Worship Anew
Worship Anew, formerly known as Worship for Shut-Ins, celebrates the new life all people have in Jesus with a 30-minute broadcast service. Christ's love is shared through weekly scripture readings, favorite church hymns, prayers, and a pastor’s message that reveals God’s grace and truth. Donations of $25 ensure this program runs on BATV for one week. Sign up in the lobby, click here, or contact the church office at 630.879.7163 to make a gift to help support this ministry to our community. Learn more about Worship Anew at worshipanew.org.
Pledges
Financial giving is an important aspect of spiritual growth. Your monetary gifts make you a partner in ministry here at Immanuel and they enable us to continue our mission of building deeper relationships with God, here within our church and school community, and also outside the church - reaching out to our friends and neighbors.
Annual Giving Pledges
In the coming weeks the annual budget for the coming fiscal year will be developed. A significant part of that process is to estimate the amount of free-will offerings that will be received. While we can't precisely determine the amount, receiving pledges from members helps to guide congregational leadership toward creating a budget that will allow for as many avenues of ministry as possible, without putting the congregation at financial risk. The only income that Immanuel Lutheran Church and School receives is from free-will offerings and from school tuition and fees. It would be extremely helpful for everyone in the congregation to take time to prayerfully consider the amount that they can give financially during the coming fiscal year (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) and to complete a pledge form by March 23, 2025. This information is kept confidential and will be seen only by the Bookkeeper and the Business Manager at an individual level.
