Becoming Beloved Community: Learning Grace

Welcome to 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 4 services: at 8 AM we have what's known as Rite I Holy Eucharist, which is a spoken service. At 10 AM we have a Traditional Rite II Holy Eucharist in our Sanctuary, and at the same time we have a Contemporary Rite II service in a space we call the Great Hall. At 5 PM, we have a Celtic Holy Eucharist in the Chapel.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer Morning Prayer at 7:30 AM.

On Wednesdays, we offer a Rite II Holy Eucharist at 6:00 PM.

The community of the 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 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 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.

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.
