All Are Welcome
Our 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!
