ChristCare groups are gatherings of 3-12 people who meet regularly. They experience the joy of sharing the love of Jesus Christ through the development of personal bonds with one another and with Jesus. Characterized as "Circles of Care with Christ in the Center," ChristCare groups carry out the mission of the Immanuel Lutheran Church — "To Know and Share the Love of Jesus Christ." Each meeting is filled with "prayer and worship," "biblical equipping," and "community building and care." Mission is a natural component of each ChristCare group, as groups extend themselves in outreach, bringing the love of Jesus Christ to others. Participation in ChristCare is recommended for anyone who desires to know the love of Jesus and to share it with others. Time commitment: ChristCare groups typically meet for 1 to 2 hours weekly, biweekly or monthly. Prep time may be an additional hour per meeting. Each group decides together when, where, and how often they will meet. For more information, please contact the church office at 815-459-1441.
