LGBTQ+ Fellowship | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

Church of the Redeemer offers a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ 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!

We gather on the fourth Thursday of the month on Zoom at 8:00 pm for Conversation and Compline. We spend time with each other in community, and finish our time together with Compline, a simple service of night time prayers (beginning at 8:20 pm).

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

Please let us know you need it by contacting Anny Stevens-Gleason.

“It’s the Gay Pride flag,” she responded matter-of-factly. I said I knew that, but what I was asking is, why she would have it tattooed on her arm? Without hesitation, she pointed at it and she said, “This is here because ...

What if the Church really listened to LGBTQ+ persons? What would we learn about ourselves? How might our beliefs, our identity, our understanding of God and creation be transformed if we were willing to take the LGBTQ+ witness seriously? I use...

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer! We invite and welcome ALL to join us in worship and community. In addition to worship, we have a vibrant music community, a fun and welcoming community for children and youth, plus offerings for everyone from young adults to seniors, covering many varied interests.

And we are interested in and want to meet our neighbors! Feel free to come by and introduce yourself to us anytime.

The Rev. Philip DeVaul, Rector

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.

On Sundays we have a livestream 9:00 am Traditional Rite II Liturgy of the Word service. We occasionally, weather permitting, also have Pop-Up Church in Ault Park at 9:00 am and 11:00 am. (Registration is required.)

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer Morning Prayer on our Worship Podcast.

On Wednesdays, we offer a Daily Devotion for Early Evening on our Worship Podcast.

The community of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer welcomes you! We are glad that you have chosen to explore your faith here and hope that this document can answer some of the questions you may have about Church of the Redeemer. We seek to be an open, inviting community. Our invitation to you is to join us as we grow in faith and reach out in love to others. At Church of the Redeemer we are always seeking to know Jesus and grow in love. We hope that in whatever ministries you undertake will strengthen your relationship with him through your ministry and fellowship here.

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.

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. It is a practical way to ensure that others are able to experience the relationships of holy connection and communion that are shaping your life.

For 2021, we ask that you make your commitment through regular scheduled electronic giving, if possible. Whether it be weekly or annually, giving electronically is a safe and sustainable way to ensure your continued financial support.
