At Redeemer Lutheran Church all people are welcomed into the community united by the grace, love, and forgiveness we know in Jesus Christ.
Jesus was famous for extending a radical welcome to everyone he met, crossing over all human made lines and boundaries. The congregation at Redeemer Lutheran Church having received Jesus welcome ourselves, extends that same reception to all people. No exceptions.
Redeemer Lutheran Church recognizes and repents for the historical mistreatment of all minorities and marginalizes communities by the Church universal.
Further, the members of Redeemer commit to racial equity for all people. As followers of Jesus we pledge ourselves to the work of antiracism by working against all forms of oppression and discrimination contrary to the witness of Jesus Christ.
We welcome all who seek to follow Jesus regardless of race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, marital status, nationality, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expressi0n, and family configuration, to journey together toward the promised land of God.
Fair Trade
Redeemer offers Fair Trade Products For Sale
In 2004, members of the Social Ministry Committee realized the importance of making Fair Trade products available to Redeemer's members and folks from the community. After educating folks to the importance of this justice issue, the church council decided that only Fair Trade coffee, tea and cocoa would be served at all church functions and that members Harold and Norma Good could sponsor and finance the project.
Fair Trade organizations, Equal Exchange, Farmers Market Coffee and Divine Chocolate are the organizations that support.
We help small scale farmers in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the United States. They earn fair prices for their products, have access to affordable credit, protect the environment and gain a long term trading partner they can trust. With your support, communities can now invest in education, health care and agricultural improvements. In addition, for each pound of coffee purchased a contribution is made to the Lutheran World Relief "Small Farmer Fund" for projects supporting small farmers and their families.
