Council at Redeemer
The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer council has general oversight of the life and activities of LCR, as well as, in particular, its worship life, to the end that everything be done in accordance with the Word of God and the faith and practice of the Lutheran Churches in Mission for Christ.
The constitution of LCR establishes a council comprised of ten LCR members elected by the church congregation members for two year terms. Ideally, half of the council is elected in December of each year. The council president, vice-president and treasurer and secretary comprise the officers of the church. Management of the church legal affairs and management of the staff is the responsibility of an executive team comprised of the officers plus the pastor. Key functional responsibilities are assigned to five ministry areas, plus the director of buildings and grounds.

My family has been serving here at Redeemer for the past 21 years. My wife, Claudia, and I particularly love worshiping with the Redeemer family and seeing people come to faith, as well as growing in faith through our Alpha Course, small group ministries, youth group and such. We’re so blessed this year by an amazing team of humble, insightful and faith-filled group of Christ-followers serving the Redeemer family on our church council! Hoo-rah to you guys!

I just LOVE this church - everyone in it and all the blessings I feel when I am here, working or worshiping. I believe God sent me to this little town 18 years ago, so that I could drive by this church and feel so good.
