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.
