Immanent theism is the principle that God is both the Creator of the world and remains immanent in the world by virtue of being its most intimate First Cause.
Immanent theism is very similar to certain other theological beliefs. The concept of Panentheism, coined in the 1830s and suggests that God is both immanent and transcendent by virtue of having made the world from part of Himself. Pandeism, introduced in the 1850s suggests that God is immanent in the world by virtue of having made the world from all of Himself (leaving nothing but the Universe, as in Pantheism).
