Redeemer is built around Gospel Formation for Missional Presence.
The good news of Jesus transforms us into people that participate in God's mission in the world. The Church is not a sub-culture or a building or a movement but the making of a new humanity.
We begin with curiosity, asking questions that are essential to every human being. What story am I in?Who am I? With whom do I belong? How do I change? Where do I make my life? What is my purpose? How do I love?
Our dream is that as we practice Gospel Formation together, we will embody the missional presence of Jesus to our friends, our neighbors, our coworkers, and our city.
