Baptism Orientation


Baptism is a free gift of God in which He brings us into a relationship with Himself and makes us a part of His family! In the Lutheran Church, baptism is a sacrament.

 

We welcome your child or any adult who wishes to be baptized. Have your questions answered at one of the next orientations, either on Sunday, December 14 at 9:15am or Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 9:15am in the Conference Room of the Church office, facilitated by Don Burgess. Free childcare is available.
