I am ELCA and I don't believe you tip the pastor. You may make a donation in their name if you wish, but you should never have to pay for rites of the church.

Both my children were baptized in the ELCA church and I did not tip the pastor. I have never heard of anyone ever tipping a pastor for baptizing someone.

I believe you do tip the pastor, similar to tipping for a wedding.

Instead, I would make a donation to the Church in his honor, and write him a thank-you note.

No one should be required to pay for the rites of the church.

Pastor tipping. That's not like cow tipping is it? I hope he doesn't drown.
