Baptisms, Confirmations, and Weddings

Baptisms

Baptism of infants is strongly encouraged in the first month after their birth. Pastor has a pre-baptism session with the parents before the first baptism in a family. At Immanuel, the child’s sponsors are required to be Lutheran, but others may serve as witnesses. In keeping with the Great Commission, Christian education must necessarily follow baptism of infants.

Weddings

As part of preparation for marriage, several pre-marriage sessions are required prior to the wedding. Sessions include a Bible Study, use of an online survey for couple relationship issues, and of course planning the ceremony.
