Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) is your opportunity to learn more about what is means to be a person of faith in our modern world.  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 class runs for six consecutive weeks.  At the completion of the class, those who have attended are welcome to become members of First Saint Paul's.

If you would like to become part of our community of faith and make First Saint Paul's your church home, please contact Pastor Barich. 

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.

      Affirmation of Baptism is for those who are beginning membership after having attended the GIFT class

       or who are beginning membership in a Lutheran church after moving from another congregation or after a

       time away from the church.

      Associate Membership is for those retaining membership in their present congregation while making First

        Saint Paul's their church home in the city.
