In the sacrament of Holy Baptism, water and God’s promises join together so the baptized is adopted in God’s family. Holy Baptism marks an entrance into the Christian community and the Church. The Lutheran Church baptizes people of all ages, including infants, because we believe that baptism is God’s gift to us not our action.
If you are interested in scheduling a baptism at Good Shepherd, please speak with a pastor or call the church office at 507-553-3513.

God, who is rich in mercy and love, gives us a new birth into a living hope through the sacrament of baptism. By water and the Word God delivers us from sin and death and raises us to new life in Jesus Christ. We are united with all the baptized in the one body of Christ, anointed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and joined in God’s mission for the life of the world.
