Community Centered Church in Greenville SC
Our vision comes from Acts 2, where the earliest believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. They shared life together, met one another's needs, and the Lord added to their number daily. That same common life is what we pursue in Greenville today.
We are united by five Core Values:
Community — Small groups of believers who meet regularly to pray, share life, and read God's Word together
Discipleship — Teaching God's Word and applying it to everyday life
Liturgy — Gathering weekly around a worship order rooted in the biblical storyline, including weekly observance of the Lord's Supper
Mercy & Mission — Meeting tangible needs in Greenville and beyond through relief, development, and reform
Simplicity — Keeping the Gospel clear and central rather than multiplying programs
What Community Looks Like at Christ the Redeemer
Community is not incidental to who we are. All human beings are born into community. It shapes us and makes us the kind of people we are. At Christ the Redeemer, small groups are the nucleus of church community. Members pray together, share life together, read God's Word together, and are sanctified together.
Loving One Another
The New Testament calls us to a life of "one anothers." These commands define what Christian community looks like in practice. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, a Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.
Some of what that looks like here:
Bearing one another's burdens
Confessing sins to one another
Encouraging and building up one another
Forgiving one another as the Lord has forgiven us
Being hospitable to one another
Stimulating one another to love and good deeds
How We Worship Together
Each Sunday, we follow an order of worship rooted in the biblical storyline. It moves from the Call to Worship through Confession of Sin, the Assurance of Pardon, Preaching, the Lord's Supper, and a sending Commission. The corporate gathering is not a celebration of man. It is a set-aside moment to come underneath the Word of God and sing in response to his immeasurable mercy.
What to expect on a Sunday at Redeemer.
