Membership

We always welcome new people into our congregational family at Fellowship. People become members by Baptism and/or Affirmation (i.e. Confirmation) or Re-affirmation of Baptism or by letter of transfer from another Lutheran congregation. People who have different denominational backgrounds or those who are not yet baptized are encouraged to receive adult instruction by arrangement with the pastor.

New members are received in the fall and in the spring. Prior to new member receptions in late October and early April, the Pastor offers an "Adult Inquirer’s Classes" to integrate new members in to the life and faith of the congregation. We will welcome the new families, introduce them to others in the congregation and work with them to meet their needs and interests in the life of the congregation.

It is important to our congregation that we live up to our name, "Fellowship". This means including people in all conditions and times of life in our care and ministry.

Handicap Accessible: Our facilities are designed to be barrier-free for those with physical handicaps. We are also committed to do whatever is necessary to "normalize" our ministries to make them accessible to anyone who has special needs. Jesus' Gospel is for all.

Families: While we have many traditional families in our congregation, we are sensitive to the needs of blended families, single parents, those who have never married, were previously married or re-married.

Children's sermons are a regular part of Sunday morning worship. We believe that young people learn their faith from seeing others at worship and participating with them.
