Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lutheran church in Perryville, United States.
Immanuel Lutheran Church is a traditional church building in Perryville that houses both worship spaces and an attached school facility. The complex features separate areas for religious gatherings and classroom instruction for students of various ages.
The congregation traces its origins to Bavarian Lutheran settlers who founded it in 1866 and initially held services in a local courthouse before building their own structure in 1867. That early building established the foundation for what developed into the present church.
The church maintains its connection to German Lutheran tradition while operating a school system for children from preschool through eighth grade that serves families across generations in the community.

The congregation gradually shifted from German to English services beginning in 1921, completing the transition by 1963 when all religious activities became fully English-language. This language change marked a significant evolution in how the community expressed its faith.
