Baptism

“Behold, your brothers and sisters! We welcome you in the Lord’s family!”
~acts 2:37-47

congratulations on your new bundle of love!

We are always excited to meet the newest little Lutherans! More than that, we are honored that you’re on this webpage and are considering baptism for your child.

what is baptism?

Lutherans believe baptism is a time when God - who is already present everywhere - shows up to claim us with word & water. We believe baptism affirms our place in the ongoing story of God’s love. Baptism is a gift freely given by God - without qualifications, conditions, or demands of any kind. At its center, baptism offers the promise of forgiveness, wholeness, and eternal life!
