Families are a central aspect of parish life at the Redeemer. We are deeply committed to walking with families to help children and teens find God's true purpose for their lives: the unfolding of Christ’s life into the world through their unique and developing personalities. Our Families Ministry creates and facilitates age-appropriate programming providing opportunities centered on three primary parts of participating in Christ's life: heads, hearts, and hands. While every part of our programming seeks to address each of these areas, some opportunities highlight one of these aspects. Heads includes opportunities to engage students and families in learning, reading, and discovering. Hearts includes opportunities to experience worship, prayer, and fellowship. Hands includes opportunities for students and their families to serve their community, city, and the world. |
