About Communion and Baptism 
Communion 

At First Lutheran Church we celebrate the Lord's Supper, or communion, at nearly every service and all are welcome to participate.  In the mystery of God, we believe that Christ is actually present in, with, and under the bread and wine at communion.  All believers in Christ are welcome to join us! 
Baptism

Baptism is a public rite for incorporation into a Christian community.  In the Lutheran faith, we believe you only have to be baptized once in your life.  We recognize all other Christian baptisms done at other Christian Churches in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  If you would like to be baptized or you would like your child to be baptized, that's great!  Please contact Pastor Dan, Pastor Kay, or Pastor Craig or someone in the church office.  We offer baptism weekends frequently and they are a joy!

If you'd like to know more, please follow these links to the ELCA's (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) theology of Holy Communion and Baptism.
