Services

We at Redeemer delight to honor the Lord on His Day! Our worship is "traditional," with an emphasis on worship that engages God's people in exalting Him. We place special emphasis on the ministry of the Word, both in the reading and preaching of Scripture and in the weekly observance of the Lord's Supper. Generally, we explore books of the Bible passage-by-passage, verse-by-verse -- both in morning and in evening worship. Most people dress somewhat formally, but we are glad to welcome you as you are to worship our Lord with us.
