Advent begins November 30th!
Advent is coming quickly and everything you need to know about services (Wednesday nights, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day), the Advent Giving Tree, and resources for you and your family can all be found our on Advent page!
If celebrating Advent is new to you, we answer some Advent FAQs so you can learn more about this humble season of anticipation and preparation, and be prepared for how services will be a little different than during this season.

Breakfast Fundraiser for Booyah Brrr, November 30th
Are you tired of the same old breakfast? Don't you wish your breakfast would not only fill your stomach, but fill your soul, knowing you are eating with a purpose? Well look no further than our Redeemer Youth Breakfast Fundraiser!
Between services (starting at 10:30am) on Sunday, November 30th, Redeemer Youth will be serving up a delicious breakfast to raise funds to help send our students to their annual winter retreat at Booyah Brrr! For just $10/plate, you are helping our students take their next steps towards Jesus. Additional donations are also appreciated!
Joint Service & Potluck, November 30th
Our next Joint International Service is on Sunday, November 30th starting at 2pm. On the last Sunday of the month, our afternoon international services host this joint service for all three of our congregations (English-speaking, Sudanese, and East African congregations) to worship and fellowship together as one body. Be sure to stay after the service for a time of fellowship and feasting (bring a dish to share)!
Baptism Class, December 16th
Our next service of Holy Baptism is coming up on January 11th! If you’d like to have yourself or your child baptized, please sign up for our next Baptism Class on Tuesday, December 16th. The class will meet from 5:30–7:30pm and we'll begin in the sanctuary with a walk-through of the liturgy and service logistics. Following this, we’ll enjoy a light dinner together and spend time teaching on the theology of baptism and engaging in faith formation activities. Childcare will be available if you need it.
In order to prepare well for this class, the registration deadline is Wednesday, December 10th. If you have any questions about this class, you can reach out to Rev. Zach Croonquist or Rev. J.D. Meeder.

Redeemer to Rwanda 2026
Join us on our next annual visit to Rwanda!
Every year we visit our ministry partners and our sister parish in the Diocese of Gahini to strengthen and further develop our partnership.
During these visits, we meet with, pray for, and learn from fellow church members and clergy in the community. Sometimes we’ll assist with pastors’ conferences, work with and visit parish schools, or assist in the community in other ways. We also learn about the painful history of the Rwandan Genocide, contemplate reconciliation, and meet with others to dream about how we can all use our gifts to help each other.
There are currently two trips planned for 2026: April 24-May 6 with the Greensboro Fellows, and a family-friendly trip July 6-18th. We'd love to have you join them! If you have any questions, email Ben & Cherie Weber at weberworld08@gmail.com.
Redeemer Farm Stand
You can now take a little piece of our Farm home with you!
After our 9am and 11am services, pay a visit to the Redeemer Farm Stand in the courtyard! You can purchase freshly harvested produce and other goods made from ingredients and plants grown on the Farm. It’s also a great opportunity to learn more about the mission of the Farm, meet some of the Farm to Flourish team, and ways you can partner with their work.
Volunteer in Redeemer Kids!
We love our Redeemer kiddos & you don’t have to look too hard on any given Sunday to see we have LOTS of them (with more to come)! It takes many hands to care for and disciple our littlest saints. There is a current urgent need for additional hands in Redeemer Kids, specifically on the Nursery and Children’s Check-in team. If you’re interested in volunteering, sign up below to fill out the application, or reach out to Anna Lynch if you have any questions.
