Welcome to Emanuel Lutheran Church.
My wife Terri and I have been married since 1989. In 2012 we were blessed with our son, Isaac. I graduated from Concordia, Seward in 1990. I have taught in Hawaii, Illinois, and in Minnesota since 1999. Most of my teaching has been in Lutheran schools. Sharing the Gospel and helping students learn what it means to live their faith was a very important part of my calling as a teacher. I am looking forward to many similar experiences with the members of any age here at Emanuel.
In 2021 I began preparing for the Office of the Ministry. I was ordained and installed as pastor at Emanuel in February, 2024. I am blessed to be serving God's people in this place. Sharing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continues to be a part of my new role at Emanuel. I am thankful for all the opportunities God gives for this wonderful, life-saving message.
The invitation is always open to you for a visit or if you have any questions, please contact us. We would love to share with you the mission of Emanuel.
Ellyn is the church administrative assistant - preparing bulletins and newsletters, as well as managing many aspects of the church office.

Welcome to our webpage! I'm Jodi Wilson and I've been teaching at Emanuel since 1988. I started in our 3rd and 4th grade classroom, but have spent most of my years here team teaching with Marilyn Vollbrecht in our K-2 multiage Primary Room. We have a unique learning environment that strives to meet each individual student at his or her current academic level. We grow together in our knowledge and wonder of God's awesome creation. Come visit us anytime!
Kathy plays the organ for worship services, directs our two adult choirs as well as the handbell choir.
