New Members Classes are 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 and wish to join our community of faith are welcome to become members of First Saint Paul's.

If you would like to make First Saint Paul's your church home, please 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.
• 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.
