Redeemer is a spiritual haven for those looking to find a warm and comfortable place where they can worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Redeemer has always been a place where people put down roots. Where they come to raise families, and where generations of families stay in membership. We are a loving, friendly and accepting community where you can come and celebrate the love of Christ. It is through His love that we become one community and it is through His sacrifice that we become whole again. When you enter our doors you will find that His arms are open awaiting you — and so are ours.
