Sunday Gatherings
Our Sunday gatherings are planned with the desire to focus on worshiping God in each element of the service. Our services are planned and ordered intentionally each week to follow the four “movements” of the gospel: God, Man, Christ, Response. God calls us into His presence, we remember the reality of our sin, but rest assured because the grace offered to us through faith in Jesus Christ, and we respond in praise.
If you’re wondering how you should dress for one of our Sunday services, don’t worry: some of us like to dress up fancier on Sunday mornings, and some of us would rather not. The atmosphere of our service is casual yet reverent, so however you dress, you’ll fit right in. God is most interested in our hearts, so come eager to see, hear about and learn about Jesus, regardless of your attire.
A Family of Faith
Scripture refers to Christ’s Church of Christ in terms of a household (Gal. 5.10), a body (1Co. 12), and sometimes uses family terminology to describe the relationships between church members. At Redeemer, we seek to live out the New Testament “one anothers” toward each other as we walk alongside each other together through the life on mission that God has called us to.
A Discipleship Culture
The pursuit of cultivating a culture of discipleship at Calvary Redeemer flows from a desire to approach discipleship with the level of deliberateness and intentionality with which we pursue other areas of ministry, such as worship, preaching, and fellowship.
We who have gathered as Redeemer have been called to “go & make disciples” (Mat. 28.19a). And we who have covenanted as members have committed together “to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to others”, and to “edify one another, instruct one another, exhort one another” (see our membership covenant).
A Gospel Culture
We believe that our gospel doctrine will only be as effective as our gospel culture. We believe that if we must preach the gospel in our church doctrine – and we should – then we must also equally embody the gospel in our church culture. In other words, if our doctrine is based on gospel grace, then our culture should be based on gospel grace too. Healthy churches need both gospel doctrine, and gospel culture. So we have striven to cultivate a culture in our body where we: 1. prayerfully depending on the grace of the gospel, 2. truly rest in the God of the gospel, 3. earnestly love the people of the gospel, 4. gently confront contradictions of the gospel, and 5. faithfully expect growth in the gospel.
