[3] Immanuel was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 9 March 1984.

[1] The Grade II listing—the lowest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".

It is in the archdeaconry of Blackburn, the Deanery of Accrington and in 2017 became part of the new parish of Oswaldtwistle, along with St. Paul's and All Saints.

Immanuel Church is constructed in the Early English style of coursed stone, squared sandstone; the roofs are slate.

[1] The plan is cruciform with a nave, chancel, transepts, tower to the west and chapel to the south-east.
