Our Leadership
Redeemer Church is led in plurality. We believe this to be the New Testament pattern of church leadership. So, we are served by a team of elders and deacons.
Our congregation appoints our elders to teach the Bible, provide pastoral care, and equip us all for ministry to one another. Each of these men is qualified to serve as pastors in Christ’s church.
Also, our church is served by a group of men and women called deacons. We appoint deacons to humbly serve our church in various practical ways; therefore, they set an example for all members of the body.
