2024 is the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Altamont. For the first ten years Immanuel met in an old school building. In 1884 Immanuel bought a “used” church building and moved it to our present location. This building served us for 85 years until 1969 when our current church was built. Since then the carpeting has been changed and some pews were removed to accommodate the music programs. Windows and doors were replaced a few years ago.

  Last year a 150th anniversary committee was formed to plan for a yearlong celebration. The members of the annual pork dinner committee asked if they could contribute to a flooring project. At their request the congregation established a renovation committee to study and present a plan, which the congregation approved on July 6, 2022. The plan includes flooring, a coating on the wood ceiling, improved lighting, a revision of the altar, pulpit, and lectern, and new curved pews facing the altar. Sketches are displayed in the church narthex. Construction is scheduled to begin in January, 2023.
