How does one become a member of Calvary Lutheran Church?
Active memberships can be transferred from other ELCA parishes. If you've been inactive, you can join by reaffirmation of your faith. For those who are new to the Lutheran church, three to four sessions on the beliefs of Lutherans are held and you'll be asked if you share those beliefs. All new members are introduced to the congregation during a worship service and membership certificates are presented.
If you have specific questions, you are encouraged to call (308) 632-8023 or fill in the form here and click Send. |
