Redeemer Students
Redeemer Students exists to partner with families to raise a generation who Follow Jesus, Enjoy Jesus, and Make Jesus Known
At Redeemer Students, we believe that the home is the first mission field and the Church is a partner, not a substitute for seeing children grow in their faith. We seek to offer a safe and fun environment for students from 5th through 12th grade. All Redeemer Student leaders are background checked and trained in appropriate policies and procedures. During the 9am service, students will come together for worship, eat and play games, and more importantly spend time reading and discussing Bible passages.
Follow Jesus
We help students build a biblical foundation that prepares them to trust Christ as their Lord and Savior. This is accomplished by partnering with families to develop their student's faith and assisting them in their journey to a personal relationship with Christ.
We also partner with families in teaching students to live a life of Gospel-centered, holistic spiritual formation. This happens as we model and teach kids to love Jesus and others not from religious obligation but from a living relationship with Christ.
Enjoy Jesus
Make Jesus
Known
We help equip families with the tools and resources needed to place Christ at the center of their home. We then encourage families to be involved with our community both locally and internationally.
