After You Arrive
Ushers will welcome you, give you a bulletin, and answer any questions. If you are comfortable, please fill out the “Friendship Form” found at the end of each pew so we can get to know you.

​

What should I wear?
God loves us as we are – no matter who we are, what we do, or how we dress. We wear anything from jeans and t-shirts, to slacks and golf shirts, to suits and ties when we gather to worship our Lord.

​

What about our children?
Children are welcome in our worship. A nursery is available for those attending to the needs of infants and small children. (Please see an usher for assistance.)

​

What about the offering?
The ushers will pass the offering plates during the service. In addition, you can contribute through the donate button on our webpage or by mailing your offering to the church office.

​

Will I be able to follow our worship?
Everything you need to participate in worship is presented on the screens at the front and back of the worship center, and a printed bulletin is available for all to use.

​

Can I take Communion?
We receive Holy Communion weekly at the invitation of the Lord, receiving the body and blood of Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. Baptized Christians who share this faith and wish to join us in the sacrament are welcome. Please bring young children forward for a blessing.

​

Can I be Baptized?
As Lutherans, we believe that Baptism is necessary for salvation (Mark 16:16) and that God’s grace is offered through Baptism (Titus). We teach that children are to be baptized (Acts 2:38–39). Being offered to God through Baptism, they are received through grace (Article IX of the Augsburg Confession, 1530). Adults, youth, and parents of young children and infants who are moved by their faith to seek Baptism should contact the pastor for consultation and scheduling.

​

How do I become a member?
Please contact the pastor or an usher to let them know you’re interested. A one-time orientation class is desired for all who are transferring from other Lutheran congregations.

​

Fellow brothers and sisters in Christ coming from other traditions who are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit may also receive the orientation and a class on what it means to be Lutheran.

​

We desire—but it is not necessary—that you are introduced to the congregation during Sunday worship.
