The Lutheran Church welcomes all age, both children and adults, for Baptism. Baptism is a "sacrament", the means by which a person receives God's gracious love and becomes a member of the Body of Christ, which is the Church. If you desire baptism for a child, or for yourself, please contact the Pastor at the Church Office. Candidates for baptism and their families are encouraged to worship regularly, and prepare for Baptism with the Pastor.

There is a big difference between having "a wedding in a church building" and having "a Christian marriage."

If you are considering marriage, please contact the church office to speak with the Pastor. Pre-marital counseling is also offered and required. It is strongly recommended you contact the church a minimum of 6 months in advance, preferably a year in advance, to check availability of the church building and staff, as well as to set-up counseling preparation appointments.

If you are in need of such services, please contact the church office to speak with the Pastor.

If you are sick, in the hospital, or homebound (temporarily or permanently), please contact the church office directly by phone or email to let the Pastor know.
