Questions and Answers from our Pastors

Do I have to be Lutheran to receive communion?

We welcome all people who seek the love and forgiveness of our Lord to join us at the table of fellowship

What do I have to do to get our baby baptized?

Prior to arranging a baptism, we ask parents to attend a one-session gathering entitled, “Let the Children Come,” which are held quarterly.  During these gatherings you will learn about the sacrament through which every Christian begins their faith journey.  You will also hear how you can nurture your child into living a life of faith and service to the Lord.  After the session, we will work with you to schedule the time for the celebration.  All baptisms take place during our regular worship services.

What if I am an adult and have never been baptized? 

We will set up a one-on-one meeting with a pastor to help you begin this joyful journey of faith.

We are planning our wedding, how do we start?

Please contact the church office at least eight months prior to the wedding to reserve a date. You will be asked to attend four pre-marital sessions with a pastor and a professional counselor. Additional meetings may be necessary depending on your desire for music and other personal touches you wish to have as part of your ceremony. Currently we do not perform wedding ceremonies for non-member couples.
