OUR VISION

Holy Redeemer is a community in love with

Jesus Christ and sustained by ancient practices.

•••

• With our children we mark our days by the sacred year, a year that is structured by the saving acts of God revealed by the life of Jesus Christ in the gospels.
• We practice listening to the Holy Spirit, as his disciples, together in families, as brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, in all the moments we gather and in all the various ways we gather as the body of Christ.
• We gather around the Scriptures and an inseparable table of bread and wine in which Jesus Christ is made present. We encounter the living God in the sacred writings when we read them in worship and as disciples living our everyday existence in the world as families. We encounter the living God when weekly we drink from a common cup and break bread.
• We live the faith of the creeds in a broken world as witnesses to a God who makes the world in love, who loves the world that he makes, and becomes what he makes in order to die for the world that he loves.
• Together we try to love every person our parish encounters. We seek to do this in wisdom and charity, looking to Jesus Christ who tells us we will encounter him in the prisoner, in the sick, in the hungry and thirsty, and in the stranger.
• Our lifeblood is a collection of dedicated individuals and families who seek to live all of these practices in our homes and who together in a collected strength welcome the poor, the stranger, and the outcast.
• Our passion for rest, contemplation, and mercy bring into better focus a God who is near to all and already at work in our increasingly distracted world, a God who bids us to participate in his redemptive love for humanity and the creation.
