MISSION
Living Out the Love of the King!
Royal Redeemer’s mission is the same Biblical mission that is the calling of every Christ-follower and every Christian congregation: To love and glorify God above all things (Matt, 22:37), and to grow His kingdom in the hearts of others by loving the people in our circle of influence (Matt. 22:39).
VISION
We are family in Christ, reaching families for Christ
We are forever family to one another because of the cross. We want to see Jesus Christ at the center of every heart within our reach, because he is our life and our hope. His grace heals broken relationships, bringing renewal to family life.
VALUES
Unity and Diversity
We are followers of Jesus Christ, joined together through Word and sacrament ministry, grounded in the Bible but open to diversity in our beliefs and practices, welcoming to all, valuing healthy relationships, praying and working together toward a life shaped by Jesus’ love and call. Royal Redeemer Family Values
