Welcome Friends of Christ
We are an inclusive Episcopal community centered in the love and forgiveness of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Following Christ’s example we seek to embrace diversity in love, supporting every person’s spiritual growth and ministry. We serve Christ through our liturgical traditions, parish gatherings and outreach to others.

Home
The Church of the Redeemer is a welcoming and caring community. Our congregation is curious and questioning. We have a history of social justice and outreach ministries, and lesbian and gay members are integral to our parish life. Worship is the heart of Redeemer’s life – it brings our family and church lives into one as we celebrate the liturgy, the word, and the sacrament together.
