We are a family of Christ followers committed to the health of our communities.
We are the people who live as the Redemption church family.
As a family, we serve, eat, pray, care for, support, and challenge each other from a place of humility and vulnerability. Community groups are the foundational way we live as family.
Because we follow Christ, we join Jesus as a family to do what he did while on earth and what we are empowered to do through Holy Spirit.
Our commitment to health starts with our own formation as individuals and as family. We practice spiritual disciplines in counter formation to the ways of this world.
From that place of core health, we seek an understanding of what our communities need and what defines holistic health in that community. Then we humbly follow and serve in that community, desiring their highest possible good.
Our communities are groups of people with whom we intentionally interact in the various places we’re called to serve (e.g. neighborhoods, vulnerable populations, cities, community groups, partner ministries, work teams, book clubs, gyms, coffee shops, virtual communities).
We are a non-denominational church, centered on and toward Christ, aligned with the declarations of the Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, of things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the begotten of God the Father, the Only-begotten, that is of the essence of the Father.
God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten and not made; of the very same nature of the Father, by Whom all things came into being, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.
Who for us humanity and for our salvation came from heaven, was incarnate, was made human, was born perfectly of the holy virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit.
By whom He took body, soul, and mind, and everything that is in man, truly and not in semblance.
He suffered, was crucified, was buried, rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven with the same body, and sat at the right hand of the Father.
He is to come with the same body and with the glory of the Father, to judge the living and the dead; of His kingdom there is no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, in the uncreated and the perfect; Who spoke through the Law, prophets, and Gospels; Who came down upon the Jordan, preached through the apostles, and lived in the saints.
We believe also in only One, Universal, Apostolic, and Holy Church; in one baptism in repentance, for the remission, and forgiveness of sins; and in the resurrection of the dead, in the everlasting judgement of souls and bodies, and the Kingdom of Heaven and in the everlasting life.
