Baptism
Baptism, one of the Lutheran Church’s two sacraments, is
available to people of all ages who wish to affirm their faith and
commitment to God in Christ Jesus (from infants to adults). Baptisms
are typically held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays during the Traditional
Worship Service or any Sunday at Rejoice.
Arrangements can be made by calling Pastor Paul or Sharon Flink in
the church office.
Can I take Communion?
In the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (of which we are a
congregation) there is “open communion”…anyone may receive the
sacrament of Holy Communion if they believe that the real presence
of Christ comes to us through the Bread and the Wine.
What do Lutherans believe?
We understand ourselves as Christians who trust in Jesus Christ
as Savior and hold the following:
- We are saved by grace through faith.
- We accept the Bible as the source of God’s revelation to us
and as the source of Christian love, guidance and doctrine
- Confess God’s Trinitarian expression in creedal statements
(Apostle’s Creed, etc.)
- Teach that a person is to live not according to a formula of
do’s and don’ts, but in the freedom of Christian love
