Let us draw near with a true heart

We gather. 

Being Lutheran, we love to gather together, especially with food. We gather after every service for fellowship and donuts, then meet for further bible study and Sunday school for the children. We enjoy a good potluck and have many outings such as our Back to School Kick Off, Christmas Caroling, Vacation Bible School, Retreats and more. Whether it's a couple of families or the whole congregation we enjoy gathering together in informal settings to grow together as a church family.

We volunteer. 

There are many ways to get involved, from serving meals at the House of Compassion, creating quilts, or teaching Sunday School; we welcome your talents! Whether it's volunteering to monitor a VBS activity or helping a church member in need there are many ways to serve the Lord and His people. If interested please inquire here. 

We get involved. 

There are many groups to join as we continue growing in our faith with one another. Groups to get involved with:

• Sunday School classes (ages 4-high school); Sundays after service

New to Redeemer?

New to our church? New to church? Here are some helpful tips for our services: 

• All of our services are traditional and follow the Lutheran Service Book. Hymnals (The Lutheran Service Book) are the dark burgundy books in the pews.
• The bulletin is on your right as you walk into the sanctuary (or an usher/elder will hand you one as you go in). This contains the order of the service or you can look at the front of the church at the little boards with numbers on them.
• We practice closed communion. If you are not a member of our church, or of a congregation of the LCMS or other church body with whom we share full altar and pulpit fellowship, please speak to our pastor before worship about the loving instruction in God's Word that leads to discerning Christ's Body, examining oneself, and proclaiming Christ's death before we commune together. 
• You can park at the main parking lot - behind the church - and go in the bottom double doors. Go up the stairs, past the kitchen and until you see the main doors. Turn left and you'll enter into the sanctuary. 
• There is no assigned seating. 
• Dress code is nice, but we welcome you as you are. 
• Service lasts between an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. 
• Join us afterwards for donuts in the fellowship hall. No need to RSVP or sign up for them.
