The Missouri Synod is actually a separate denomination from other Lutheran denominations, despite the use of the word "synod" in its name. The Missouri Synod is extremely conservative on doctrinal and social issues, e.g. they don't allow female clergy, believe that The Bible is literally true, oppose homosexuality, etc.

Why are nonmembers not allowed to take communion in a Lutheran church?
Excluding nonmembers from communion is not a policy of the Lutheran church as a whole. Rather, it may be the policy of a specific church or of a particular denomination. Unlike Catholicism, the Lutheran church does not have one central body. Instead, it is composed of a number of different divisions. In the US, there are three primary groups: the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) Lutheran Church-- Missouri Synod (LCMS or just Missouri Synod), and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS or Wisconsin Synod). Each group has its own policy on communion. Missouri and Wisconsin Synods both practice closed communion; only members can take communion. The ELCA, however, practices open communion, where anyone can. Of course, individual churches may choose to follow a different procedure from that of the denomination to which they belong, so it is possible for an ELCA church to have closed communion.

How do you join the Lutheran church?
Just go to any Lutheran Church in your area. I would suggest the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod (LCMS). Talk to the pastor and he might help you get enrolled in a new members course to learn about church teachings. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you join!
