Our Story
Since 1880
Immanuel, a congregation located in Wright City, Missouri, is United Church of Christ. We offer members and friends a chance to become part of something greater. To express their love of God to all.
Our church style is old-school with a breathe of fresh air. Worship is celebrated with candlelight, church hymns, ringing the church bell, prayers & blessings, and children's church. We value the Bible, relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and believe worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do.
​
We welcome all and share an open communion table. No matter who you are, there’s a special place for you at our church. When you are ready contact us or visit in person.

Meet Our Pastor
Rev Dr Kim Purl
Pastor Kim has served as Immanuel's pastor since July 2023. Sharing how to enjoy tough Bible passages and emancipate scriptures is her love.
She is a wife, mother to 4, a caregiver, and gardening lover. Thai, Eastern Indian, and Chai (tea) happen to be her favorite treats. One of her life goals is to travel to Australia to visit her husband's extended family someday.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
