Co-Ed Bible Study Registration
Redeemer Men & Women will study the Book of Romans this year, focusing on Romans 1-7 in the Fall and Romans 8-16 in the Spring. Each participant will receive a Romans Scripture Journal and Romans for You by Tim Keller .
Please choose the option and time that works best for you. Your Bible study leader will contact you by e-mail as soon as possible after registration closes.
Why $20?
This fee primarily covers the cost of materials, which range between $15 and $20. Any additional money is applied to childcare. Redeemer covers the majority of childcare costs. As a covenant community, we choose to share the cost of childcare among all participants so that it isn’t too burdensome on any one stage of life.
We do not want this fee to prevent anyone from participating. If it does, please contact Emily for scholarship information.
Discovering Redeemer Class
Attend our membership class! Discovering Redeemer is a 6-week class during the Sunday School hour, culminating with a Saturday night dinner.
We will cover core topics like what we believe about the gospel, the church, membership, stewardship, and the city, as well as how to live well as a follower of Christ. This class is a discerning place for people who want to dig deeper at Redeemer. Following the class, you can meet individually with an elder to discuss membership.
Please note that this class runs from 9:30 to 10:50. Childcare will be provided from 9:20 to 10. At 10, children will be transitioned to their age-appropriate Redeemer Kids class, where you can pick them up at 10:50.
The class will take place in the Harrison Gallery.
Adult Sunday School Kick-off
Adult classes and the Co-Ed Bible study will start on September 21st. Until then we’re using the 10 am hour for getting to know leadership candidates on September 7th and 14th, which will conclude with a congregational meeting and vote on October 5th.
Discovering Redeemer for Kids & Students
Redeemer Kids and Redeemer Students are partnering together to offer a class for 4th-8th graders* interested in exploring the next step in their faith. On Sunday, September 21, we'll meet from 12:30-3 pm to take a closer look at the gospel, the sacraments, the church, and what it means to be a member at Redeemer. Interviews will be scheduled for those interested in taking communion after the class. Lunch and snacks are provided.
All participants must attend the class with at least one parent or guardian.
*If you have a child/student outside of this age range who is interested in this process, please contact Emily. We will likely recommend that older students attend Discovering Redeemer.
Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is taking a short pause and will resume mid to late September. This is to give our leaders time to envision the next stage of this ministry. Please join us in praying for what’s next for our ministry!

Congregational Vote

Join Storied Lives
Storied Lives is a group exclusively offered to women this year through New Hope Counseling. The groups explore stories from participants' pasts so that they can live more freely in their present. Storied Lives creates a safe and powerful space for people to share stories that carry grief/confusion/shame and invite others into them to seek the Holy Spirit, who brings comfort, healing, and growth.
Groups meet once in November and 16 times from January to May; they have 4-6 participants and are facilitated by trained leaders. The cost is $45/meeting, for a total of $765. Partial scholarships are available through New Hope. We do not want financial constraints to prevent anyone from participating.
Storied Lives is seeking women who are open, curious, and willing to reflect deeply on their own life experiences, bringing emotional stability, maturity, and a desire to understand both their strengths and weaknesses as part of their growth journey. With a readiness to engage alongside others in a safe, guided space, we will seek to embrace who God has already declared us to be more fully.
If you have any questions, please email Carrie Sinsabaugh.

The Light in Our Eyes offers nine ancient practices to help you experience anew—or for the first time—Jesus’s love, beauty, and freedom and to embody and extend them in the world. Through the scriptural song of Zechariah and relatable, inspiring stories of men and women who have been restoried by the gospel of Jesus, this book reminds us that Jesus’ dreams fulfill what our hearts have longed for all along.
