Founded in 1916, Immanuel has played a leading part in the spiritual life of Wichita for over 100 years. We are a large church where you will not get lost in the crowd. Join us on Sunday mornings as we grow together and in our relationship with God. No matter what crisis or challenge you are facing, we can offer you hope through Jesus. Come and be part of what God is doing here as we seek to reach this city, this country, and this world for Christ.

What to Expect
Arrival Time
Many people arrive 30 minutes early. There's coffee and we can help with children's check-in. If it’s your first time, enter the front of the worship center (building with the large white cross) and one of our greeters in the lobby or at the welcome counter can direct you to a LifeGroup classroom, children’s check-in area or the worship center.
Parking
You can park on Topeka or in one of the two blocks of parking across from the church. If it’s your first time, park in the guest lot directly across from the large white cross.
What to Wear
From t-shirts to suits, we have it all. Be relaxed or dress up, we're just happy to see you.
Worship Style
Modern worship with a healthy mix of classic hymns.
Teaching Style
Pastor David brings a message each week from God’s Word that will encourage and/or challenge you, no matter where you are at spiritually.
Have a Question?

Service Style
Immanuel has a modern style of worship. Most of our music is contemporary but we still sing many classic hymns of our faith. While we believe that the worship of God is very serious, we are not formal. The Bible teaches that it is the condition of our hearts more than outward appearance or style of worship that matters to God.
Where to Go
Immanuel has a large facility (covering two city blocks!) so we know it can be intimidating to find your way around. If you are a first time guest on a Sunday morning, enter through our worship center, which is the building with the big cross. When you enter the lobby of the worship center, you will see a welcome desk. Whether you are looking for the Children's Area or a LifeGroup, just ask one of our greeters and they will be happy to direct you. If you coming on a Wednesday night, please use our Family Life Center (FLC) entrance. The Family Life Center is the building furthest from the large cross. Park in the Topeka lot and you will see a crosswalk leading to the main FLC entrance. Always feel more than welcome to ask one of our greeters or members if you need help. You can also utilize the campus map which can be found online here.
LifeGroups
LifeGroups are smaller Bible study groups that meet on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30am. LifeGroups provide you with an opportunity to form a close-knit community so that you can fellowship together, pray together, and grow in your knowledge of God and His Word. If you have any questions about which LifeGroup is right for you, please email us at info@ibcwichita.com.
Kids
At Immanuel we believe that your child is precious to God. Therefore, we value every single child. We have an incredible children's ministry with over 100 kids. We have a variety of ministries for your kids including LifeGroups, Carpenter's Corner, The Zone, AWANA, and IBC Sports. Your kids will love their new friends at IBC!
Wednesday Nights
Wednesday Nights at Immanuel we have something for everyone. Starting at 5:15pm we have a meal in the dining room of the FLC. At 6pm all our regular programs start. AWANA, our kid's program for PreK through 6th grade, meets each week in the gym of the Family Life Center. Our Student Ministry for 7th-12th graders meets in the Epicenter and our adult Bible study, led by Pastor David, meets in the Dining Room. The adult Bible study usually lasts till about 7pm and AWANA and Student Ministry usually lasts until 7:45pm.
Guest Gift
Are you a first time guest? Come by the Welcome Center desk in the lobby outside of Worship Center before or after the service and say hello. We'd love to meet you and we have a gift we'd like to give you. If you'd prefer to meet the Pastor, he is in the lobby after the worship service each Sunday. We have some information about our church as well as a gift to show our appreciation for you.
