| We
believe that becoming a part of a congregation is more than being a
member in an organization. We are called to be disciples of Jesus
Christ in word and in deed. New disciple class classes are offered at
least twice a year usually in the spring and again in the fall. The
classes consist of three weekly sessions held on Sunday mornings at
10:10 are and cover basic Christian teachings from a Lutheran
perspective. Those individuals transferring to our congregation from
other Lutheran congregations may do so via a Letter of Transfer, but
may also wish to take part in the classes. Prior to being received as
new disciples in the congregation of St. Paul Lutheran, we invite those
joining the congregation to a new disciple luncheon where an overview
of the ministry is shared and a tour of the facility is given. This is
usually scheduled for a Saturday at 11:30 AM. The following day, at the
Sunday morning worship service [either the 9 AM or 11:15 AM], the new
disciples are formally received into the congregation. Following the
service, a new disciple reception is held in our Fireside Lounge.
