Redeemer Lutheran Church Mission Philosophy

We are a Lutheran church grounded in the pure Word of God and nourished by His means of grace. Our mission is to know Christ through His gifts and make His grace known to all, teaching the truth faithfully and sharing His love freely.

Scripture: Acts 2:42; Ephesians 2:8–9

Confessions: Augsburg Confession Articles V & VII

The heart of our life together is where Christ promises to be — in His Word, in Baptism, and in the Lord’s Supper. Doctrine matters because it protects and proclaims these gifts. Our teaching is not about ideas, but about how God actually gives Himself to us.

Scripture: Romans 10:17; Matthew 26:26–28

Confessions: Large Catechism – The Sacrament of the Altar; Small Catechism – Baptism

We are people of grace — not by merit, effort, or success, but by the mercy of Christ alone. Every sermon, class, and ministry aims to draw hearts back to that undeserved love. Grace is not just our theology; it’s our culture.

Scripture: Romans 3:23–24

Confessions: Augsburg Confession Article IV – Justification

Lutheran theology gives us solid ground — the Law that convicts, the Gospel that restores. We teach with clarity and compassion, not to win arguments, but to lead people to Christ’s comfort. Sound doctrine serves people, not the other way around.

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:13–14

Confessions: Formula of Concord, Solid Declaration, Article III – Righteousness of Faith

Our worship is liturgical yet living — ancient in form, current in voice, centered on Christ. Through confession, forgiveness, Word, and Supper, God serves us so that we may serve others. We leave worship not just inspired, but sent.

Scripture: Colossians 3:16

Confessions: Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Article XXIV – The Mass 

We are a family of forgiven sinners, learning to show the same mercy we’ve received. We care for one another in times of need and welcome those who are searching, struggling, or skeptical. Our unity is not sameness, but shared grace.

Scripture: Galatians 6:2; John 13:35

Confessions: Augsburg Confession Article VI – New Obedience 

Our calling is to bring the gospel — not just information about Jesus, but the actual gifts of Jesus — into homes, workplaces, and the community. We evangelize by inviting others to where Christ promises to meet them: in His Word, His people, and His table.

Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20
