Become a Member

How does one become a member?

Anyone wanting to join our congregation is welcome to do so after speaking with Vicar Martin Garcia.  He will assist you in making arrangements to join.

Adults become members in a number of ways:

  • Transfer--those who come from other Lutheran Churches have their membership transferred by letter.
  • Reaffirmation of Faith--those who previously attended a Lutheran Church, but haven't attended in some time, usually rejoin our church by reaffirmation of faith, after speaking with Vacar Garcia.
  • Adult Instruction--those who have not been instructed in the Lutheran faith, take a course, called "That I  May Know Him."
  • Baptism--any who completes the Adult Instruction Class, and who have never been baptized in the name of the Triune God, are baptized into the Christian faith.

Children become members by:

  • Baptism -- while this usually happens shortly after birth, older children are often baptized as well.
  • Transfer--when their parents transfer from another Lutheran Church.
