Baptisms at
Shepherd of the Valley
SOTV celebrates the Sacrament of Baptism every second weekend of the month during regular worship services and, as needed, every third weekend of the month as a separate baptism service at 12:30 PM. Baptism forms must be completed prior to scheduling a baptism. Forms are also available at the Welcome Center. To schedule a baptism, please contact Jill Johnson at 952-985-7381one month in advance.
Baptism Class
(Please note: Maundy Thursday falls on the 1st Thursday in April, so the
class will be held on the 2nd Thursday : April 8.)
Parents are welcome to bring babies to class as childcare is not available. *This class is required only for families preparing for their first baptism at SOTV.
SOTV regularly
offers New
Member classes that are held on three consecutive
Tuesday evenings or
Sunday mornings. Pastor Chris Smith leads the
groups with information about our church history,
mission, and the many opportunities for involvement in
our church activities. Classes are casual and childcare
is provided. Then, on the weekend following the last
class, new members are "received" into the congregation
at one of the church services, by standing together and
coming forward for a blessing. There is no registration
for the class and childcare is provided.
We want you to continually be aware that you COUNT in our worship and activities, to our staff, to our members, and to God. We thank you for your past participation and support, and want to encourage you to continue your involvement with SOTV, and to consider becoming a member of our church by attending a future New Member Class.
