How do I become a member?

There are several ways in which a person becomes a member of Clover Trinity Lutheran Church:

1. Baptism/Adult Information Class

2. Transfer

3. Profession of Faith

These three ways are designed to help different people from a variety of starting points to reach the same goal—an active faith in Jesus Christ and an active expression of that faith through this fellowship of other believers.

If you are not yet baptized and desire to be, please contact our pastor.

If you are exploring the Christian faith for the first time or are a new believer we offer you an Adult Information Class.  The class is one that explores the teachings of our congregation and Lutheran Church body, the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.  Contact our office for the next information class.

Once you complete an adult information class, it is your option to decide whether or not you agree with our teachings and want to become an active member of the congregation.

If you are already a member of another Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation, we invite you to transfer your membership here to Clover Trinity Lutheran.

Simply contact the Church office and all the necessary forms will be sent to you.

If you are a member of a congregation from another Lutheran Synod, or were baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church, but have since lost track of, or are not sure of your membership, we invite you to join by profession of faith.  The procedure for this is the same as that for transferring membership except, of course, no membership records are exchanged.  If this is your case, we would normally encourage you to consider taking our adult information class as a refresher course on Lutheranism.
