Questions and answers

How can Join Brainerd Church?

Need a church home? We invite you to please speak with the pastor. You may fill out the card in the pew pads and drop it in the offering plate, call the church office to schedule a meeting with the pastor or email the pastor directly at tbracken@brainerdumc.org

Who can I reach out to get baptized?

Baptism is a sacrament that God uses to bestow grace on anyone who chooses to follow Jesus. We believe that baptism is something that Jesus does and therefore never needs to be repeated. We believe that baptism is best administered by the church with the community of faith present. To schedule a baptism, simply call the church office to make an appointment with the pastor or email him at tbracken@brainerdumc.org
