Immanuel Lutheran Church was founded in 1892 by a group of German immigrants living in Bristol. Though they had been members of Lutheran churches in Europe, until Immanuel there had been no German Lutheran church for them to attend in Bristol.That same year, the fledgling congregation installed Pastor William Brend and adopted a constitution. A small church building was constructed on the south bank of the Pequabuck River two years later. But controversy soon arose between two groups of Germans at the church which resulted in the removal of Pastor Brend. Their search for a new leader ended with Otto Duessel, a young man who had recently graduated from the Lutheran seminary in Springfield, IL. He was ordained and installed at Immanuel in 1895, two years before Immanuel would affiliate with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LC-MS).
