Baptism is a sacrament in the Lutheran Church through which we are welcomed into the community of faith and claimed as God’s children. Baptism is a free gift of God which includes the gift of the Holy Spirit, friendship with God, forgiveness of sin, and the promise of eternal life.
At First Lutheran, baptism is available for all ages. We celebrate baptisms during worship throughout the year.
Scheduling a Baptism
For more information on baptism, or to schedule a baptism at First Lutheran, please contact us. Please have a date and worship time in mind, as well as sponsor/godparent information. Once we schedule a date with you, a pastor will contact you to arrange a time to meet with you in preparation for the baptism.

Baptism Reunion
Baptism is the first of our Milestone Ministries.
The Baptism Reunion milestone is celebrated in January of each year, when we as a church commemorate Jesus’ baptism. The Baptism Reunion is a milestone for all who have been baptized in the past year and their families.
At the reunion, you will be invited to meet with other families of the newly baptized, learn more about your baptismal promises and how the congregation supports you in living them out, and receive a blessing in worship.
