Our Mission Statement
As a community in Christ, Redeemer is all about “connecting God’s word to life in the world through a vibrant faith community where souls are fed and gifts are shared.”
Our Vision Statement
Redeemer’s vision is to “reach people who are hungering for meaning in their lives.”
About Redeemer
To achieve this mission and vision, we are guided by the word of God as it is revealed in the living presence of Jesus Christ in our midst; as it speaks through the scriptures (the Old and New Testaments comprising the 66 books of the Holy Bible); and as it is heard in and through the proclamation and witness of God’s faithful people.
Redeemer honors our Lutheran heritage and upholds the Lutheran Confessions, but at the same time nurtures disciples for life and witness in today’s world.
Regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, ability/disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or educational achievement, Redeemer invites, welcomes and equips all who seek to fear, love, and trust God above anything else.
Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we see God’s grace poured out for all. It is this grace we proclaim through our ministry of word and sacrament, as well as our outreach into the community and the world.
All who wish to make Redeemer their church home will be encouraged and equipped to worship regularly; participate in opportunities for ongoing Christian education; tell the story of Jesus; share generously of their time, abilities, and finances; seek peace while serving the needs of brothers and sisters around the world; and participate graciously in our life and ministry.
