Mission Statement A Christian Church is a company of regenerate persons, baptized on a profession of faith in Christ, united in covenant for worship, instruction, the observance of Christian ordinances, and for such service as the gospel requires; recognizing and accepting Christ as their supreme Lord and Lawgiver, and taking His Word as their only sufficient rule of faith in all matters of conscience and religion. The Church of the Redeemer Baptist shall be a place to worship, a place devoted to community activities and affairs, a place to embrace and enrich the total life of man spiritually, politically, educationally, socially, morally and economically. Building Together in Faith To build a house for God and God s people to worship, fellowship, disciple, educate and serve. Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Go and build the sanctuary of the Lord God so that the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the Lord..and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: I Chronicles 22:19 NRSV Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rearguard. Isaiah 58:8

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. 2 Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. 3 Full of honour and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever. 4 He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds; the LORD is gracious and merciful. 5 He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant. 6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. 8 They are established for ever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and awesome is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practise it have a good understanding. His praise endures for ever. 1 Peter 4:10...serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
