Redemption belongs to a denomination, but this is not our primary identity. First and foremost we are followers of Christ and thus united with all believers everywhere. Regardless of what beliefs people might have on less central issues, everyone who has trusted in Christ and seeks to follow him is invited to join our community.

And yet, we are also proud to be part of thePresbyterian Church in America (PCA), a growing denomination with more than 1700 churches whose motto is “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.” Our commitment to this denomination is not in order to create a boundary between us and other believers but rather in order to deepen our connection with each other. By standing within a particular tradition (outlined in the historic Westminster Standards) we are united across the centuries with past generations of Christians, upon whose shoulders we stand. And our presbyterian government creates relationships of accountability and mutual support with other churches in the area, These connections are concrete expressions of how our individual church is part of a much larger, global work of Jesus.

The PCA works locally and globally to answer Jesus’ call in the Great Commission through Mission to North America, Mission to the World, and our campus ministry, Reformed University Fellowship.

Anybody! While members of our church are committed to believing in and following Jesus, Redemption is a place for the curious and the uncertain to explore the possibility of faith.

The service lasts about 75 minutes, plus time for coffee and conversation after. It includes readings from the Bible, songs, prayers, a message, and the Lord’s Supper. Our music is a mixture of historic hymns and newer songs of praise. At a few points, the congregation is invited to read short prayers out loud together. If this is new for you, feel free to join in, or simply to listen to the words!

The point of our worship is to meet with God, receive His blessing and rest, and fellowship with one another in Jesus’ name.
