Who We Are

Every Christian is called to follow Jesus and to teach others everything he did and taught. We believe that our greatest joy is to live in light of Jesus’ teachings and to tell others about him. As followers of Jesus, we want to ensure that all of us are fully-engaged in loving our families, neighbors, co-workers, and strangers in practical ways that highlights the beauty of knowing and having a life changed by Jesus.

Core Values

Community

We believe that inherent to being human is being in community. We were never meant to live in isolation from each other. We want people to know others and be known—in their joys and in their struggles.

Discipleship

The call of Jesus is to make disciples and to obey all that he has commanded. We are both on a journey of learning what it means to follow Jesus as individuals and as a community.

Liturgy

We believe that a clear and biblically-grounded order of worship aids us to be shaped by the Gospel of Jesus. Instead of a straitjacket, the order of worship provides a skeletal structure by which we can grow and learn together. We know what to expect each week—being called to worship our God, confessing our sins, hearing the Gospel of grace and forgiveness and joy, responding by receiving from the Lord’s Table each week, and receiving God’s Good Word of Benediction and Commissioning us to live the Gospel in our daily lives.

Mercy + Mission

We, at Redeemer, have all received mercy from God in Jesus. We want to proclaim that mercy to others in words and in deeds. We believe that acts of service and mercy demonstrate the proclaimed Word of God. We seek to start other new churches in the Upstate, country, and world.

Simplicity

In a world that values what you do and what you have, we want to declare that you are loved because of the life of Jesus’ perfect life, death, and resurrection. We are not against programs, but believe that they ought to serve the greater mission of the Church of making disciples of Jesus. We don’t want people to feel bogged down with more activities. Rather, we want to learn together what it means to follow Jesus in the everyday of our lives.

Ministries

Church Planting

We want to plant many smaller congregations throughout the Upstate. We are actively pursuing partnership with our local association, as well as putting together a training cohort to be able to help church planters be prepared theologically and practically to begin these churches. 


International Missions

While we’re still a small church, spreading the fame of Jesus is very much the lifeblood of Redeemer. In our first year we sent two pastors to Kenya to train pastors in Nairobi and rural villages.

Because we value the local church, we prioritize mission trips to support churches if they already exist by asking them for practical ways we can serve them. 

We also want to be strategic in reaching those who have never heard the name of Jesus or who do not have access to the Gospel. Therefore, we are looking for opportunities to reach these people through long-term partnerships with indigenous people. This is what we call out #5in20 initiative—to adopt 5 unreached people groups in 20 years.


Nursery (0-3yrs)

Caregivers are able to check in children before our service begins. Our Nursery workers are ready to receive children at 10:00. While there, kids will play together, receive a snack (gluten-free), sing a song, and hear a Bible story. We have an electronic check-in procedure that our workers are happy to walk you through. You will leave your name, allergy information, and cell phone number so that workers can contact you if necessary. You will receive a tag that you must have to pick up your child at the conclusion of the service.


Children (4-6yrs)

Children are dismissed in the middle of the service to go to Children’s Church. We want to come alongside parents and caregivers in training their children. Having them sit in the service with them is a step in that direction. We realize that asking a child 4-6 years of age to sit through an entire service is a bit much to ask. This is why they are dismissed to be able to move around as well as to hear a Bible story and sing.


Youth (1st-4th; 5th-12th)

Our Redeemer Kids meet from 9:00-10:00a. We use a curriculum called The Gospel Project. [You can find out more about it by clicking through.] One of the main reasons we love this curriculum is that (1) it brings the entire story of the Bible together as pointing to Jesus; (2) the stories are consistent across the different age groups; (3) the involvement of families is key to the success of the study. We also have various times for youth to get together to go bowling and socialize together.


College & young adults

Our college & young adult ministry meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00 pm, and is led by Nate and Hannah Cure. This time is spent focusing on studying the Bible, praying for each other, the church, and the community, singing, and forming friendships for further discipleship. For more information contact Nate or contact Hannah.
