Grace Lutheran Church of Dodge Center has three classes of congregational membership: baptized, communicant, and voting members. Every member of our congregation has been baptized, as the Scriptures and the Church clearly teach that a person becomes a member of Christ's Body, the one holy Christian and apostolic Church, through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. Once a baptized member is instructed and then approved by the voting members of the congregation, they become a communicant member who is able to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. After a communicant member has reached the age of 18, they are eligible to become a voting member who regularly attends the meetings of the Voters' Assembly and participates in the work of the congregation.
