The six-foot Luther Seal window welcomes everyone into the building. This window beautifully confesses Luther's faith with the black cross in the middle of the window depicting man's sin against God and God's solution with the death of his Son on the cross. The red heart that surrounds the black cross reminds us of the big-heartedness of Jesus Christ who lived a holy life in our place, suffered and died for man's sin by shedding his blood. Surrounding the heart and cross is a gorgeous white rose that signifies the holiness and perfection of Christ that is credited to the accounts of believers by faith. The white rose reminds us of the pure-white garment of righteousness that God has clothed us in for Christ's sake. Around the white rose are multi hues of blue which signify heaven, the eternal home of all believers. And surrounding the blue is a two-foot wide band of gold signifying eternity.

In the center of the altar area is the cross with the grape vine growing up from it. It signifies Jesus Christ who is the "Vine and we are the branches." In the center four foot window the Father is depicted as a pair of hands, releasing a beautiful white dove which represents the Holy Spirit.  All three persons of our Triune God are represented in the altar area.

In the sanctuary, the front six narrow panel windows consist of ascending yellows, oranges, coppers, and reds. The Trinity is represented with three windows on either side of the center focus.

The entire altar area is dramatically warm and exciting for the human eye to explore and meditate on as we listen to God's powerful and comforting word.

Likewise St. Peter writes in his first general epistle, chapter 3,  verse 21:

“...this water (i.e. of the Flood) symbolizes baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.”

Baptism is not just the confession of man, nor submission to God, but a gracious water of life through which God himself works to bring us his grace.

The Bible teaches that Holy Baptism is the only means God has given us to work saving faith in infants and babies. Since they cannot yet be taught to know Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit uses the sacrament of Baptism to effect a simple trust in the hearts of these precious little souls. And this trust is the very essence of faith.

Contrary to the teaching of many today, children are not born into this world pure and innocent. The Bible tells us that we all enter this world with a sinful nature, alienated from God and in need of his grace and salvation. “Surely I am sinful from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me,” Psalm 51:5. Babies also need the salvation that Christ won. This salvation can be given to the sinner only through the work of the Holy Spirit, and not through any work of man.

In addition, Christ commanded us to baptize and teach “all nations.” Even the census-taker acknowledges that babies are  part of the nation. For this reason also, the Apostles on several occasions baptized entire households (which surely included children).

Martin Luther summed up the Bible's teaching on Baptism well: “Baptism works forgiveness of sins, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare: ‘Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned,’” Mark 16:16.
