Building Description
Milwaukee’s first congregation, Immanuel Presbyterian Church marks its 188th anniversary this year. The current church building (1875) was designed by famed Milwaukee architect Edward Townsend Mix in the “High Victorian Gothic” style. A 2014 addition designed by Kahler Slater, provides education and meeting space for this growing and thriving congregation. The building’s Wauwatosa limestone exterior features an array of colors and textures trimmed in red and gray sandstone and Scottish granite. The interior of the building includes beautiful woodwork and stained glass windows, four of which are Tiffany.
Visitor Experience
Doors Open friends will be welcomed by the ministers and members of this warm and engaging congregation. Guests will be invited not only into an historic and beautiful building but also into the contemporary story of this healthy and growing congregation of 500+ members.
Organist Steven Jensen will offer mini organ recitals on Saturday at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. On Sunday, following worship, Mr. Jensen will offer an “organ talk” about the history and design of the organ.
Although church tours will be offered throughout the weekend, Doors Open friends are especially invited to spend Sunday morning at Immanuel. Join the congregation for morning worship at 10:00 and stay for coffee, conversation, and a tour of the building.
