LGBTQ+ Fellowship | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

Church of the Redeemer offers a safe and supportive environment for lesbian, gay, bi, transgender, and queer people, as well as their friends and relatives, whether committed Christians, curious inquirers, skeptical but seeking, recovering from past toxic church experiences, or anywhere in between. The LGBTQ+ Fellowship welcomes participation by singles and couples, of all ages!

We hope to cultivate friendships, especially for newcomers to Church of the Redeemer, providing role models and mentorship, and gatherings for social activities like potlucks, arts events, outdoor activities, meals, movies, and more!

Everyone is welcome, regardless of orientation or level of involvement at Church of the Redeemer.

Childcare is provided.

We love children, and children love Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at Redeemer. Children learn about the word of God through our Children's Christian Education programs; they are involved in worship services, they play music in our services, and they form lifelong friendships with each other through their experiences.

Flowers in our holy worship spaces are a beautiful gift to God and those who attend services at Church of the Redeemer as well as those being honored or remembered. A contribution to the Flower Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one for special life events such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, thanksgivings, or in memory of a loved one.

The Church of the Redeemer is blessed to have received special gifts from parishioners who wanted Redeemer to have permanent savings to care for our facilities and to supplement our pledge income.

Such permanent savings are often called an “endowment.” The endowed funds are permanently set aside by donors or by the Vestry. Some of our donors have specified uses for their endowment gifts. A limited portion of the funds is distributed each year to supplement our general budget. All funds are invested with professional advice.

If you are a part of the Redeemer community, we believe you are here for a reason. We believe that God brought us all here, brought us all together. We have been brought together by the Holy Spirit to be loved, and to love the world and people God has created.

What about your connection to Redeemer changes the way you live in this world? Your financial commitment is a response to the work that God is doing with you here. Your pledge is a practical way to ensure that others are able to experience the relationships of holy connection and communion that are shaping your life.
