Our Congregation's Core Beliefs --

We believe and teach in accordance with the Book of Concord and the Lutheran interpretation of the Christian message. For more information about Lutheran beliefs, click here.

Membership Policy

Any Baptized person who confesses their belief using the Apostle's Creed may become a member of our congregation. We are proud of the fact that our congregation is open to all people who want to worship and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To become a member, talk to the Pastor. TOP

Baptism Policy

Baptism is considered a Sacrament in the Lutheran Church. Any person may present themselves as a candidate for Baptism. Since we believe that God's promise is available to anyone we extend the Sacrament of Baptism to all people, including children. Baptism is a communal event where the person being baptized is adopted into the Church. As such, private Baptisms are not normally performed in this congregation. TOP

Holy Communion Policy

Jesus said "Take and Eat ALL of you." and "Take and Drink ALL of you". We take these words VERY seriously since we proclaim a faith based upon the words and deeds of Jesus. As such, Holy Communion is open to all persons who believe that Jesus is truly present in the Bread and the Cup. This includes children and visitors from other Christian Churches.

As a sign of hospitality, we offer both Red Wine and White Grape Juice. during Holy Communion. TOP

Wedding Policy

King of Kings Lutheran is available for Christian weddings. Please contact the Church Office for fees and services available.

Pastor James will perform weddings at both the Church and outside locations. The couple will be required to meet with him threes times and with our Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from Lutheran Social Services for marriage preparation counseling. Please note that Pastor James will charge a fee to non-members and our LCSW marriage counselor will charge fees for their services to both members and non-members.

Weddings are serious affairs that demand our full attention. The reception is the time and place for any tom-foolery and drunkenness. If any member of the wedding party arrives at the wedding intoxicated, Pastor James will leave the wedding site with the marriage license until proper decorum has been restored. TOP
