Join Our Church
Lutheran Church
The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer is made up of disciples who welcome everyone and follow Jesus in hope, love, joy, and peace. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, which means that we welcome everyone, regardless of their background, age, race, gender, and ability levels. God says to come as you are, and we completely agree.
We love to have God’s children of all ages in worship, so please bring the whole family. We are looking forward to meeting you!

Adults of the church are asked to consider giving one week during the summer to the Christian development of the children of Redeemer and the surrounding community. VBS activities take yearlong planning, but the end result is well worth the effort for everyone involved.
Congregational Life
Every church must attend to its own “family” of members, and it is this commission’s task to
keep Redeemer working together as a joyful, playful, and resourceful Christian family.

Members of the congregation and friends in the community gather for fun and fellowship at various events. These include Second Sunday Brunch, Friday Fun Night, Wednesday dinners during Advent and Lent, and our church softball team.
