For 150 years, Immanuel Church has stood as a landmark of faith, learning, and community in South Australia. From its role as the home congregation of the first Neuendettelsau-trained pastor in Australia to its central place in Georg Leidig’s bold vision for Immanuel College, the church has been at the heart of the Lutheran story.
Drawing on rich material from Lutheran Archives - and the research behind his new book There’s a Point to It (launched April 2026) - historian Samuel Doering tells the compelling story of one of Australia’s most influential Lutheran centres. The book will be available for purchase at the meeting.
