Welcome to Emmanuel

"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

Rooted in Faith

At Emmanuel Lutheran Church, we show up with love, truth, and courage to serve Bakersfield with grace and hope.

Our Services

Faithful presence through worship, community, and outreach.

Worship

Sunday worship at 9:30: grounded, honest, and hope-filled—rooted in Scripture and sacrament, shaped by real life and real questions, and centered on the promise that God meets us with grace exactly where we are.

Community

We practice connection across differences, create spaces of belonging, and grow relationships that sustain us — because faith is lived together, not alone.

We live our faith beyond our walls through compassion, advocacy, and service — standing with the vulnerable, working for justice, and embodying love in action.
