First time visit?
It can be hard to go to a church for the first time. There are so many questions that aren't answered in mailings and newspaper ads. For example, "Can I bring my children to worship?" "What should I wear?" "What will the service be like?" Unknown factors like these can make church intimidating. We hope to answer some of the questions you might have about our church before you visit. I'd like to make your visit with us one that is relaxed and enriching.

Our deepest wish is that when you visit Royal Redeemer, you will be warmly welcomed, hear about your Savior, Jesus, and come to know the grace and love of God more and more.

Weekend Worship
People connect with God in different ways.  For some, a liturgy including responsive readings and traditional hymns are best.  Others feel connected to God through praise songs.  Still others connect with God best in silence.  We like to talk about those different ways as "love languages".  Since people of common faith can have differing love languages, our goal is to offer worship that is true to our Lutheran beliefs and invites everyone to serve God in a worship style that works best for them.  See more detailed information on our Worship page.

Dress
Sometimes people wonder how they are expected to dress at a church they've never visited before. Since the Bible presents no dress code, aside from simple decency and Christian humility, Royal Redeemer doesn't make any rules either. Like most people, our members try to make their worship time at church a special time. This is often reflected in the way they dress. But dress is a personal matter of worship before God. One may dress casually and rejoice that we have a God who accepts us as we are. Another may dress to reflect the awe and reverence we have for our Savior King.  On any Sunday at our church you may see running shoes and high heels, jeans and suits, or open collars and ties. When a person dresses out of love for God, the choice of dress (casual or more formal) is acceptable to God . . . and us.

Offerings
"When will they take the offering?" "How will it be collected?" "How much am I expected to give?" "Do they want visitors to contribute too?" These are typical worries about church offerings. The Bible teaches that our offerings to God should reflect our belief that all we have is his gift to us. It teaches us that with our offerings we worship and honor God.  Like most Christians, our members bring offerings to God through their church. Since offerings are gifts of love for God, no one dictates what each person is to give.
