Christ Our Redeemer is a new congregation in the Making friends with God and others for Jesus’ sake is our
purpose. Our worship is simple. (sample bulletin) because the good news of Jesus
is simple. Recent Sermons are available here for listening or
downloading. Happening this week. Small Groups at COR And they sang a new song saying, "Worthy are you to
take the book, and to break its seals, For you were slain, and did redeem for
God with your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation . .

CHRIST is the eternal Son of God who "put skin
on" at the first Christmas and walked among us living a perfect life,
dying on the cross in our place to reconcile us to God. We are a community as
members of God's family, therefore we say . . . OUR Redeemer. We are a community and therefore we want to
reflect more of the "familiness" which is ours in the Church and in
Christ. The church is about building people: singles, families and all who
gather around Him. Because we and the world we live in is sub-normal and
fallen we need Christ as our . . . REDEEMER for He has purchased us for God with His
blood. Jesus Christ not only redeems us by His death on the cross, but He is
redeeming, and will redeem all of creation so that all that was lost, and
more, will be restored. We Are . . . Welcoming because a perfect God knows
all about us yet welcomes and accepts us as we are because of the cross. We
are not perfect people, but we trust in God's grace and mercy as our only
hope. Because of this grace and mercy found in Jesus we can be full of hope
and joy in a world that is not what it should be because it is infected with
the wrongs that the Bible calls sin. It is our hope to grow in this
accepting/welcoming spirit in all our relationships: in our homes, places of
work, and our church. You are always welcome to come as you are. We are alike
in our needs. We Value . . . The Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the power to
know, enjoy and glorify God through faith as we worship Him, serve one
another, and reach out to our neighbors and the world. The Bible as God's word. It shows us the way
to know and follow Jesus Christ as His disciples. The Bible is God's
"owner's manual" to us for living truly well. Worship We were all made to worship. We worship
what we cherish and see beauty in. God alone is worthy of worship rather than
our cultural idols such as money, power. youthfulness and sex. We desire our
worship to be done with excellence and simplicity using the best of
contemporary and traditional forms. Community is one way to describe the Church. The
Church consists of those called together around Jesus as Lord. We believe
that small regularly-meeting home communities (mini-churches within the
church) are vital to the health of the Christian and the Church. Only the
ruthlessly joyful application of the gospel to our lives fills us with the
humility and grace needed for imperfect people to love one another. Outreach/Service begins and ends with loving our neighbor.
It is our privilege to reach out to others with the love of Christ following
God's own example in the Incarnation. Outreach shows Christ to others by what
we do and say. We are not to be a hidden or elitist group, but to live among
those who do not yet believe showing respect and love to all regardless of
social standing, race or any other such distinctions. The Church does not
exist for itself and is always a sent church. |
