New Member Classes
Beginning May 25th
After Worship
New member classes in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) are typically designed to help individuals learn about the ELCA's faith, traditions, and history. They are often a requirement or a good way to get acquainted with the congregation and its values before joining as a member.
​
New Member Classes are scheduled approximately twice a year. The class is 5 Sundays and includes a review of Martin Luther’s Small Catchecism, information about our congregation, and a tour of our facilities. For more information about the new member class, or if you are interested in joining the class, please contact the church office, (office.stbartlutheran@gmail.com).
