At Redeemer, the protection of our kids (and everyone else!) is a top priority, and in a continued effort to make the church building a safe place, we will be adding locks to all of the classrooms’ main doors next week.  Our goal in adding locks is not to protect the room or its contents, but people. As we’ve sought to learn best practices from others, we believe that…

Next Sunday, September 17, we will launch our next Starting Point class for anyone who is interested in learning more about Redeemer. Starting Point is an opportunity to interact with Redeemer leaders, learn about our beliefs and mission, and get your questions answered. It’s the first step…

Paul explained his ministry like this: “I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:25-26). At Redeemer, we cherish this goal of “progress and joy in the faith” and to that end, we are excited to offer two discipleship workshops this fall. Both groups…

You’ve probably noticed that we’ve recently added six new parking signs near the front of the building. These signs designate parking for “Convenient Access Parking,” and they are exactly that! When the parking lot is fuller (like on Sundays or for special events), we want it to be easy for everyone to get to the front door.  If your mobility is…

Advent has a long history of hosting a fun, gospel-centered, and successful  VBS, and this year we are excited to link arms in this effort! We’ll need lots of hands to make this a great week, so mark your calendar, and read on to see how you can get involved. VBS will be held June 12-16 from 9:00-12:15. It is open for preschoolers through rising 6th graders. There…

Good Friday service // Friday, April 7 at 6:30pm This service will be about an hour long and will include singing, meditations on the 7 things Christ said from the cross, and the Lord’s Supper.  There will be no childcare provided, and all…

With the blessing of a building comes the added blessing of new neighbors! The Lord has placed us in a specific place, and we are eager to continue to make His name known in this corner of west Aurora. This Sunday, we’ll have an opportunity to take a first step in that direction! We will be meeting at church at 2:00 to pass out door hangers in the local…

This Easter weekend, on Saturday, April 8, we get to join with Advent in hosting their biggest annual outreach event, an “Easter Egg Scramble.” Don’t let the name confuse you – this has nothing to do with scrambled eggs and everything to do with scrambling around the church property to find Easter eggs. More than 3000 eggs will be hidden around the…

Jesus told us how He wants to be loved. ‘’Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40).   By “least of these”, Jesus is referring to the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned — the people for whom Jesus’ Kingdom is especially good news—the people for whom Jesus’ Church is…
