You who are interested in the Christian faith and have not been baptized might be wondering whether you should be baptized. And yes, you should. Contact a pastor or the parish office of the Lutheran church. With the pastor, you will learn the main contents of our faith and after that you can be baptized.

Or maybe you would like to be baptized, but it is not possible. Maybe you are underaged and your parents do not allow you to be baptized.
You may believe in Jesus even though you are not baptized. Ask for a baptism as soon as it is up to you to decide.

What if you have a child who has not been baptized? Should this child be baptized?
- Yes. Contact a pastor or the parish office and arrange a baptism.

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself."
(Acts 2:38-39 ESV)
