Are you interested in becoming a member of First Saint Paul's Lutheran Church, the original Lutheran community of faith in Chicago? Plan on attending the membership in classes. This class is made up of people seeking a church home, members of First Saint Paul's, and others who are simply interested in refreshing the basics of faith as believed and practiced by Lutheran Christians. The classes are held on Wednesday's. Interested participants are invited to contact the church office.

New members are received by:

Holy Baptism is for adults and older children who have been led to faith by the Holy Spirit and come to receive this gift of God, as well as younger children and infants brought to receive this gift by parents and sponsors.

Associate Membership is for those retaining membership in their present congregation while making First Saint Paul's their church home in the city.
