Worship :: Children

We believe children are a vital part of Augustana's worship community and they are invited to attend worship services. Worship bags are available for children whose attention span is still growing. These bags include worship-related activities, a gospel-centered children's bulletin and a section for parents on ways to include their children in the worship experience.

BAPTISM
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is the point of entry into the Christian community and because the Augustana community makes a promise to support members of the body of Christ in fellowship and love, baptisms are normally done during a worship service.

We believe that, through the waters of Baptism, we are cleansed from our sins, claimed as sons and daughters of the living God, and brought into God's family, the Church. We follow the Lutheran tradition of baptizing people of all ages, including infants. We also recognize that Baptism makes one a member of the Christian church, so we do not require one to be re-baptized when joining the Lutheran Church.

NURSERY
The nursery is available for children 3 years old and younger each Sunday from 8:15 am to 12:15 pm and during special worship services. Our goal is to provide a loving Christian environment for your child while you worship.
