Core Values

A God Exalting, Christ Centered, Holy Spirit Led Community
We believe in the radiant fellowship of the Trinity as revealed in the Bible. We seek to cooperate with God’s dream for the whole world and we will do this as the Spirit empowers us to know the love of God, becoming the hands and feet of Christ in the world.
A Worshiping Community
Worship is at the heart of who we are. We daily offer as worship our entire body-life to God. We gather regularly in small groups, in homes and in worship services to glorify and enjoy God. We embrace the liturgical life, sharing communion weekly, following Jesus through the church year and incorporating both traditional and contemporary worship styles.
A Transformational Community
Knowing God is a journey that is meant to change us on fundamental character levels. It is far more than looking religious and having a right answer; it embraces “the mystery of Christ in you, the hope of glory.” We seek the fruit of that transformation as seen in “love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, kindness and self control.”
A Missional Community
We seek to live out the entire, holistic gospel of Christ, making it relevant to our current culture. This gospel, more than just creeds and beliefs, begins with personal life-change and extends outwards into our families, work place, and all aspects of our lives through practical demonstrations of the love. As we draw from various towns, we seek to become a vibrant fellowship of faith that serves the community in which we worship and equips us to serve each of our local neighborhoods. We also desire to form regional and global partnerships that impact the world for good and the glory of God.
A Loving & Welcoming Community
Redeemer’s heart and practice is to love one another—all the various “one another’s.” We welcome questions and seek to walk with those who struggle with heartaches, addictions, secrets, and fears. We seek to be an extended family of faith for every age and stage of life—children, students, families, couples, singles, and empty nesters—where each one is known, loved and connected to one another. To this end, we will birth another church before becoming a big and anonymous body.
A Generous & Fully Engaged Community
Everything we have—time, talents and treasure—comes from God, who has given us more than we need and can possibly appreciate. Giving back to the Lord opens us wide to the treasure that is found only in Him. Giving keeps us healthy. Giving brings us joy. Giving reflects God to the world. We are people with hearts that long to give generously. Believing that everyone has something unique to offer to the body, we encourage each one to use their spiritual gifts. We don’t just watch. We participate, join in, and give it a try.
