Upcoming Events

If you are not receiving our Remind messages, with last-minute updates or changes regarding events, please email Melissa so that she can add you.

We are requiring masks at all youth events going forward. Please encourage your child to wear their mask to continue to protect our community. We also ask that you be gracious and flexible during this time as we have to cancel or reschedule events due to coronavirus. 


Updated Service Times

Don't forget this Sunday is daylight savings! We also want to make sure that everyone is aware that this Sunday, on November 1st, Church of the Redeemer will be moving to one service at 10 am. We will continue having our Drama of Scripture and AP Theology classes immediately following the worship service, from 11:15 am- 11:55 pm. 


We are looking for youth to volunteer at the Craft Fair that Redeemer is hosting in conjunction with the Free Farmer's Market on October 31st between 10 am - 2 pm. Volunteers can check-in with Leah Wall at the Children's Ministry table upon arrival, and will be passing out treats to attendees. 


Why We're Having a Retreat in the Middle of a Pandemic

We wanted to send out a little more info about why NOW more than ever is the time your kids need a retreat. We aren’t crazy, and we haven’t forgotten that we’re in a pandemic.The need for connectivity is greater than ever, and I fear the fall out of the isolation we have had our teens in for much of the last year, may do much more damage than the actual pandemic.

Yes, we know there are risks involved, however, with the safety measures we are taking, we truly believe that we will be able to provide a safe environment for your youth.

We would love for you to WATCH THIS five minute video to hear more of our heart behind why now is so important for your kids to have this time with Jesus and one another! Registration for The Booyah Brrrr is now open, you can register here!! The Booyah Brrrr is for students in 6th-12th grades on January 15th-18th, at Watermarks Camp in Charlottesville, Virginia.
