Baptism

One of two sacraments for Lutherans (the other being Holy Communion), Baptism is the entry rite into Christian faith. It is an act instituted by God, performed using water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, whereby the baptized is united with Christ.

If you or your family is interested in learning more about baptism, please speak with Pastor Andrew or Pastor Libby after worship, or contact them directly.  It is also helpful to complete a Baptism Form so we have all of the essential information for the baptismal service.  Once we have this information, we can begin coordinating the worship service with you.
