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 call one of the pastors directly: Pastor Mike (334-2012 ext. 205) or Pastor Andrew (334-2012 ext. 206). It is also helpful to complete a Baptism Questionnaire so we have all of the essential information for the baptismal service. Please return the form to the office at your earliest convenience.
