"Living and Sharing the Transforming Love of Christ"
If you are interested in officially joining Campus Lutheran Church as a member, there are a few avenues you can take depending upon your church background.
For adults, if you are coming from a church background other than Lutheran, or have no previous church affiliation, you may enroll in our “What Lutherans Believe” class. This class meets for 12 sessions in the Fall and in the Spring. We usually receive new members from these classes in December and May. The content of the class includes a review of basic Christian teachings and the unique perspectives and emphases of the Lutheran Church. This class leads to Baptism and/or confirmed membership in our congregation.
For children, if they have not yet been baptized, we begin with administering Holy Baptism. We then encourage enrollment in our Christian Education ministry which includes Sunday School. Three academic years of Junior Confirmation Instruction is offered to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. This class provides an overview of the Bible and instruction in basic Christian teachings utilizing Martin Luther’s “Small Catechism” leading to confirmed membership.
If you currently are a member in good standing of a Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod congregation, you may let our pastor know of your desire to join us and then request a transfer of your membership to Campus from your previous church. Though not required, attendance at the “What Lutherans Believe” class mentioned above is encouraged as a refresher.
If you currently are a member in good standing of a Lutheran congregation that is not LCMS, you should meet with our pastor to discuss the similarities and differences between the Lutheran church bodies. You may then request a release of your membership from your previous church and join Campus by Profession of Faith. Though not required, attendance at the “What Lutherans Believe” class mentioned above is strongly encouraged as a refresher.
All new members will be asked to attend a “Welcome to Campus Lutheran Church” orientation session, usually held on a Saturday morning twice each year. At this orientation you will be given information about the mission, vision, and ministries of our congregation and how you can become involved.
For more information about becoming a member, please contact us. Thanks!
