What We Believe

We strive to remember and lean into the depth and the width and the breadth of the Love that God has for us. God’s Love is the heart of the community, the center of the Church, and the message of the Cross. Love for our God, Love for our neighbor and Love for ourselves will pour out of us when we tap into the love that God has for us.

Together we seek to know Christ and make Christ known. We seek to be rooted and grounded in the Love and Grace of God that is in Christ Jesus, to preach Christ Crucified with our feet and hands as much as with our mouths, to live sacramental lives, and to engage with each other and our neighbors practically, with love in our hearts.

Church of the Redeemer is an Episcopal Church. This means that we worship and pray alongside 2 million other Episcopalians in America, and over 85 million Anglican Christians worldwide. This also means that we consider all sorts of people our sisters and brothers - not just the ones who go to our kind of Church or who worship or pray or believe exactly the way we do. This also means that we see ourselves in many ways as both Catholic and Protestant, and if you're not sure where you fit on that spectrum, you'd probably fit in fine with us.

This also means that we try to focus less on our differences than on our common belovedness and faith in Jesus Christ. This also means that whoever you are and whatever you believe or don't believe, you are always welcome. But most of all it means that we believe we are all loved by God in Jesus Christ. All of us. And we try to come together on a regular basis, soak up that Love, and figure out how to spread God's Love and Grace to the world in which we live in real ways.

Our church is called Church of the Redeemer because we seek to live into the reality that in Jesus Christ, God is redeeming - saving, reclaiming, renewing – the world and all its people. We pray to be a church that participates in that redemption, helping this world become one with God through Jesus Christ.

We have a vision of a worshiping community that knows Jesus and grows in love:
united in relationships of holy connection and communion;
growing with people of every age, race, gender, sexual orientation,
socioeconomic situation and political persuasion;
inspired by our understanding of why we are Christian,
why we are Episcopalian, why Redeemer matters to us;
sent into the world, rooted and grounded in love, to serve all people
with humility, compassion and faithfulness.

“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 of all the peopl...

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We love children, and children love Church of the Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at Church of the 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.

Donate

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.

Donate

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.

For 2023, 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.

MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT NOW

Your planned legacy gift to the Church of the Redeemer is a practical way for you to empower generations to come. It is a powerful witness of faith, love, and gratitude. This type of gift recognizes the heritage left by those who came before us and acknowledges that we bear a responsibility to the future faithful - to insure the continuation of God’s work within and beyond Church of the Redeemer.
