Being new isn’t always easy—but we want your first visit to feel comfortable, welcoming, and meaningful. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions that past visitors have found helpful. We hope you’ll join us soon and consider making Holy Redeemer your church home.

We gather for worship every Sunday at 9:00 a.m., both in person and via Facebook Live.

After the service, we invite you to stay for fellowship with coffee and treats—a great opportunity to meet others and get to know our community.

The best way to experience who we are is simply to join us on a Sunday morning.

Come as you are—there’s no dress code. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

• Friendly greeters will welcome you at the front door and are happy to assist you.
• Ushers at the sanctuary doors will provide a bulletin and help you find a seat.
• The service includes prayer, music, and Scripture, and is easy to follow.

We invite you to complete the worship registration form found in the bulletin. You can also include any prayer requests, which our pastor will lift up during the week. Simply place the form in the offering plate.

After worship, join us in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and conversation—we’d love the chance to meet you.

We celebrate two sacraments at Holy Redeemer: Holy Communion and Baptism.

• Baptism is offered for both infants and adults throughout the year. Please contact the church office to schedule a time to meet with the pastor.
• Holy Communion is offered every Sunday. We practice Open Communion, meaning all are welcome to participate.

We serve homemade bread and wine, with grape juice available in the center of the tray. Gluten-free wafers are also available upon request.

Children are always welcome in worship—we encourage families to participate together.

• A nursery is available if needed (ask a greeter or usher for directions).
• First Communion instruction is offered for children—please contact the pastor to learn more.

Throughout the year, we host events and programs for children, youth, and families. Be sure to check our calendar to see what’s coming up!

If you’ve attended worship and feel at home here, you may be ready to take the next step.

Membership at Holy Redeemer means:

• Worshiping together
• Serving alongside one another
• Growing in faith as a community

To learn more, schedule a time to meet with the pastor and explore how you can get connected.

We’d love to help!
