Want to join the church?

A person becomes a member of the Christian church through Holy Baptism. Baptism is a sacrament of the church. If you would like to become a member of the church as an adult, you will need to take part in adult confirmation instruction. After completion, you will be confirmed and also baptized, if you have not been baptized earlier. If you're interested, please, take contact to local parish.
