Baptism
Baptism is more than just a symbol, ritual, or initiation into a church.
Baptism is the work of God through water and the word that claims us as his child, forgives us of our sins, and assures us of eternal life.
At Grace Lutheran Church we baptize infants and adults because as the scripture says in Acts 2:39 "This promise is for you and your children..."
Please speak with the Pastor or the church office about scheduling a baptism at Grace.
