Visit Redeemer
In his letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul referred to a church as the household of God. We hold this mindset when we talk about our life together at Redeemer.
We have sought to keep our worship gatherings as simple as our beginnings as a house church in 2008. That said, we know visiting a church can bring on anxiety, especially if you are a new Christian or interested in learning more about the Christian faith. Below is some information about our church family that we hope helps you consider visiting and worshiping with us. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

What to Expect
Your first Sunday
The Service
Our services typically last an hour and ten minutes. We usually begin with an opening scripture, sing songs of worship, hear the Word of God preached, and close with songs and scripture. On the last Sunday of every month, we celebrate communion together.
Worship in Song
Our worship band is made up of volunteers who lead our church family in song. You’ll likely hear a mix of classic hymns and more recent pieces in various styles and with a variety of instruments.
Kids’ Ministry
We are committed to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for all children. The Children’s Ministry check-in desk is downstairs, most easily reached through a door under the covered awnings on the side of our church.
Attire
Most of our attendees wear casual clothing, like jeans and a shirt. You’ll often see a few dresses and collared shirts, too. Feel free to come as you are. We would rather you spend time preparing your heart for worship than your attire.
Accessibility
We are thrilled to welcome people with disabilities and their families to our church. Please reach out to Tutta Stabler before your first visit, and she’ll tell you what to expect.
Denomination
Redeemer Community Church does not belong to a formal denomination. To learn more about our theological beliefs and convictions, see our Beliefs page.
Parking
Where to park
While we have a few visitor spots in front of the church, they can fill up quickly. There are three handicapped parking spots in front of our building and two in the back paved lot. A ramp on the left side of our building leads into the sanctuary.
Rear Parking Lot & Gravel Lot
There is a large lot behind the main church building. We recommend entering off 3rd Ave South. Please be careful in the alley and lots due to the high volume of pedestrian traffic.
Front of the Church
There is a large gravel lot across the street from the front entry of the church. Please enter off of 4th Avenue South.
Street Parking
In our efforts to be a good neighbor, please refrain from parking in front of homes along 4th Avenue South. Street spots are available directly in front of our church and along 41st Street South.
Avondale Park
Multiple public lots are within a short walk. Avondale Park is a block away with plenty of free parking. Drive in on 5th Avenue South to skip the traffic around our church.
