The students are enjoying giving Pr. Chris Davis high fives as they arrive at school each morning. For those who haven't had an opportunity to meet Immanuel's new discipleship pastor, Pr. Chris is excited to begin his work here and describes himself as someone blessed with a “light, joyful heart,” who is anxious to meet and interact with the folks at Immanuel, as well as the those in the surrounding communities. In his role at Immanuel, Pr. Chris will focus mainly on the areas of small group ministry, mentoring and empowerment, and developing ministry opportunities beyond Immanuel’s Hart Road campus; in addition to leading worship and preaching. His outgoing personality, passion for Jesus, creativity, and wealth of leadership experience complement the capabilities of the existing staff at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School. Welcome Pr. Chris, Heather, and children Eli and Rose!

Morning Care Drop Off
Morning care drop-off will remain the same as it has been in the past. Children are to be dropped off at Door 3 by the flagpole near the school lobby entrance beginning at 7 AM. They must report to the fellowship hall between 7 and 8:20 AM (middle school until 8 AM). Morning care fees are incurred between 7 and 8 AM. K-5 children may go straight to class between 8:20 and 8:30 AM (middle school between 8 and 8:07 AM). After 8:30 AM students in K-8 must report to the school office accompanied by an adult for a pass.
Extended Care Pick Up
Please note that parents picking up children from Extended Care are now to enter and exit the building at Door 2, which is on the front of the building by the stop sign at the Fellowship Hall. This is to better monitor who is entering and exiting the school building after regular school hours.
Sport Pick Up
Parents who are picking up children from sports practices should enter the building at Door 3, which is by the flagpole near the school lobby entrance, and then they should go to the gym to receive their child. For their safety, coaches will be dismissing children directly to their parents.
