The Emmanuel Lutheran Church, founded in 1946, is located at the corner of Oxnard and Radford, just off of the 170 Freeway. Expansive grounds house the church, an onsite bookstore and an early childhood education center; the Laurel School sits across the street. Pastors James Schoenrock and Tricia Lowe offer a variety of worship masses (at 10am and 5pm on Sundays), events and programs for their congregation. The church also offers youth ministries, Saturday Bible study, the Enlightened Women of Emmanuel study group and a choir program for children age 4 through high school. The church opens its doors to the local Neighborhood Council every third Tuesday.
