WELCOME!
We are delighted that you’ve found our home on the web, and we would love to have you visit us for worship on Sunday morning. Expect to receive warm greetings, and to find a wonderful blend of ages and life stages in our body, with an especially abundant crop of children.
TIMES
Sunday School/Christian Education for children, youth, and adults precedes the Worship service at 9:30 a.m.
The Worship Service begins at 10:30 a.m. and ends at about 11:45 a.m.
Fellowship follows the worship service.
WORSHIP
Following the example of our planting church, we view and strive to pattern worship as the greatest and grandest privilege of the Christian life, where we aim to “magnify God in the beauty of holiness”. Worship each Sunday is a reorienting to the truth of the Gospel, and a sacred opportunity to be nourished and fed by the hearing of the Word and the celebration of the Sacraments.
WORSHIP STYLE
Our worship at Christ the Redeemer can be best described as classical in style, but at the same time personal, warm, and relevant. Our worship style is participatory, and is a joyous, sincere celebration of our salvation in Jesus Christ. We use a liturgy patterned on timeless, ancient forms, and sing hymns that remind us that we are God’s people with a rich faith tradition who are historically connected to a long line of saints that preceded us. It is our prayer that this God-centered style of worship will bless you and strengthen your faith, whether you’ve always worshipped in this way or are new to this format.
WORSHIP STRUCTURE
At Christ the Redeemer we place a high value on the content of our worship service. There is intentionality around the weekly liturgy, music selections, prayers, confessions of faith and every aspect of the service. The goal is that all elements will work in tandem to tell the good news of the Gospel story. The service follows a specific order (see an example here), and this familiar sequence is a comforting anchor and a habit that shapes us as we worship God together weekly. Our worship service is both a “Divine Covenant” and a “Covenant Renewal”, and you can read more about the signficance of that here. We celebrate the sacrament of Communion each Sunday.
SERMONS
Teaching is expositional in format, meaning a passage of Scripture is proclaimed verse by verse, and its context and significance unpacked to show what God is revealing to us, and how Scripture is transformational in our lives. Sermons are explicitly Gospel-driven. Our lead pastor typically preaches through a particular book of the Bible over a series of weeks, and occasionally this is interspersed with a special sermon topic delivered by a guest pastor.
WHAT TO WEAR
Some people dress up and others dress down; there is no dress code. More important is bringing an expectant and reverent heart for worship and desiring to meet with God.
CHILDCARE
Nursery is offered for infants through age 3 during the worship service.
