Want to Learn About Nativity?
At Nativity we seek to learn about the Christian faith, grow in our relationship with Christ, find out where we can make a difference, and how to integrate our faith and life. Nativity refers to this as the S.T.A.R. path.

S - Step Up - Introduction to Nativity Lutheran Church
Step Up will introduce participants to Nativity's Discipleship/Membership process and review Nativity's Core Beliefs, Mission, Vision and Values.

After attending Step Up, persons who desire to become covenant members are enrolled as candidates for membership and are invited to attend one Transform and one Affirm session. Candidates for covenant membership, who would like to, may have the prayers of the community while they participate in the process. Please note this on the Introduction Follow Up Sheet you receive during the Step Up session.
