Adults at Redeemer
Adults bring their varied life, faith and professional experiences to the work of the church. Whether as elected members of Congregation Council, Ministry Team leaders and members, Sunday School teachers, Ushers, Altar Guild members or countless other volunteer roles, adults provide the lay leadership required for Redeemer to live out its values. There’s always work to be done, but there is fellowship, service, and faith development along the way.
