Joining a WELS congregation
I am 58 years old. I have been baptized, celebrated first reconciliation, and was confirmed and married in a Catholic church. I left the Catholic church 30 years ago, but never ever lost my faith in God. There was something missing. I have been to church in a Lutheran church several times. Everything makes sense to me, and everyone is so nice. I would like to join the Lutheran church I have been going to. Would I be accepted into their congregation? And what would I have to do, if so?
It is wonderful to read about your experiences with our churches.
You will want to contact the pastor of the church you are interested in joining. The pastor will be able to provide information on a Bible Information Class (or a course of instruction that is similarly named). Adult confirmation is available upon completion of the course. Confirmation is the means by which you would join one of our congregations.
God’s blessings to you as you explore affiliating with our church body by searching the Scriptures.
