Seeking Christ
In Christ, we are all called to become saints. Let us together seek him with our whole lives.
In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands,
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
One of the Church’s central jobs is to make disciples. We are here to produce mature believers who are no longer “conformed to this world” but “transformed by the renewal of the mind (Rom. 12:2).” Coming to church on Sundays is indispensable, but it is also not enough. We are all called to pick up our cross daily and seek Christ with our whole being. Every Christian has a duty of lifelong catechesis and formation into the likeness of Christ.
At Christ the Redeemer we are dedicated to make sure every parishioner has the spiritual tools they need at their disposal to “seek Christ” daily from birth through adulthood. In Christ, we are all called to become saints. Let us together seek him with our whole lives.
Nursery & Children’s Ministry
Nursery
Sundays, 10:00 until Eucharist
The nursery at Christ the Redeemer is designed to be a prelude to Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for children ages 0-3 years old. Each Sunday during the service, two trained nursery assistants will lead the children in worship through song and prayer table time, as well as child-led play and investigation of nursery materials. Infants and toddlers can be dropped off in the nursery anytime during the service, where they will be signed in and receive a pager, and remain until Eucharist, when the children rejoin their families to receive Eucharist together with them.
Children’s Ministry
Level 1 (3-6): Sunday Mornings, 8:30 am–10 am
Level 2 (6-9): Sunday Mornings, 8:30am-10am & Sunday Evenings, 4:30am-6pm
Level 3 (9-12): Sunday Evenings 4 pm – 6 pm
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is an approach to Christian formation that holds up scripture, holds up liturgy, and holds up the child. CGS looks at how the child learns, how they meet God, and how they listen to God, and it then proclaims scripture and presents liturgy so that the child is drawn into the proclamation. Each child is given a developmentally appropriate opportunity to reflect on what they have heard and then is given the space, time, and materials for contemplation and prayer. Children meet in a space called “the atrium” by age: Level I (ages 3-6), Level II (ages 6-9), Level III (ages 9-12).
Youth Ministries
Youth Group (ages 13-18)
Sundays, 4:30 pm – 6 pm
Our youth ministry exists to enable teens to explore their faith, create healthy relationships, and serve their church and community, all while growing into the young men and women they are destined to become.
Adult Ministries
Adult Sunday School
A Practicum on Prayer
Sundays, 9 am – 10 am
This year (Fall, 2025), at our Adult Sunday School Class in the Parish Hall, beginning each week at 9am, we will be offering a Practicum on Christian Prayer. The goal is to deepen and develop the prayer-life of our parishioners. Each week we will introduce a new form of prayer, which parishioners will take home and practice for the week. At the next class, we will discuss our previous week of practice before introducing the next form of prayer.
Evening Prayer and Catechesis
Sundays, 4pm – 6pm
Every Sunday evening from 5 pm to 6 pm in the Pendleton Chapel, we will be praying through Evening Prayer together, followed by a period of adult catechesis. This Fall (2025) we will be working through the next section of the ACNA’s Catechism, covering the Our Father.
Join us on Sundays at 10:00 am.
