Children's ministry

We want to be a good church to your family by helping your little ones learn to worship. A few things we do to serve families...

Nursery for ages 0-3 years old. Feel free to use the nursery as needed (if kids get too restless) or throughout the service.

Children’s Bulletins to help young children in church. We know that this takes time and promise not be bothered by an occasional squeal, laugh, or tear.

Sermon Time Class is an age-appropriate lesson for children 3 years old to 5th grade (use at your discretion). Note: All children need to be checked in using KidCheck prior to the service or at the children’s dismissal. Nursery – kindergarten children need to be checked out directly with a nursery worker or their child’s teacher following the sermon.

What to Expect

It can be hard to walk into a room of people you don't know. We understand. But we are a friendly community and want you to feel welcome.

what should i wear?

There is no dress code so wear whatever is comfortable. People wear everything from boardshorts to business casual.

what is your WORSHIP service like?

When we sing together, we draw from a wide range of musical expressions. A single service can include lyrics and music written hundreds of years ago as well as lyrics and music written last year. During the course of the service there will be times of silence and reverence, but also joy and passion. The sermons dive into Biblical passages to uncover truths that revolutionize our everyday lives. Each week following the sermon we celebrate the Eucharist.

We craft our service so that it encourages participation, but it’s fine if you want to sit back and observe.

• Read through a recent Order of Worship.
  

will you single me out as a guest?

You’ll be casually greeted by a few folks but not singled out. We understand that it can be hard to visit a new church. You are welcome to slip in and out anonymously, but we also give you the opportunity to fill out an information request card or meet the pastor after the worship service.

do i have to believe everything you do to fit in?

Absolutely not. While we are thoughtful about what we believe and strive to understand God more fully, we are a community that welcomes the mutual maturing that happens when we disagree and wrestle through important issues together. Even if this is your first time connecting with a church in years, or your first time ever, you are welcome at Redeemer.
