What should I wear?
This is Florida, just wear something comfortable. You’ll find people in anything from jeans and sneakers to dresses and ties. Just come as you are. You’ll fit in.
What will I find at Redeemer Community Church?
You’ll find people like yourself who are in need of grace from God and support from His people. We consider ourselves disciples of Jesus who are becoming a loving family. You will find that the foundational truth that accomplishes this is understanding how much we need Jesus. We purposely remind ourselves of our vision every month so that we never get away from our desire for Jesus to work in us.
Do I have to be a Christian to visit Redeemer Community Church?
Not at all. We encourage people to come who are seeking or have honest questions.
WILL I HAVE TO STAND UP AND INTRODUCE MYSELF OR SAY SOMETHING?
No. You can come and simply observe the service if you'd like. But we would love the opportunity to meet and get to know you. That’s why we serve coffee before the service. We offer ourselves as a ‘safe place’ where people can grow in their relationship to God. You’ll find that people linger afterwards because they enjoy being together. We value ‘Christian community’ and believe that no one lives the kind of life Jesus taught by themselves. We need Jesus and we need each other!
WHAT IS THE WORSHIP LIKE?
Worship is the most important thing that we do as followers of Jesus. It is an expression of God’s awesomeness and nearness at the same time. So we use a variety of historic and contemporary creeds, songs, and hymns as well as celebrating Communion every Sunday of the month. On any given Sunday, you’ll likely hear a guitar and piano, sometimes accompanied by guest musicians with other instruments. Worship is centered around the Bible, and the morning message usually lasts around 30 minutes with the service lasting 55-65 minutes.
DO I HAVE TO GIVE MONEY OR ANYTHING?
During the service, we do receive an offering that goes to support the ministry of Redeemer Community Church. But there is no pressure, and you won’t be put on the spot. You will be our guest, and we’re happy to have you come and visit.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Great question! Kids are always welcome to stay in the service with their parents, but we do provide a nursery for children 0-3 years and Sunday school programs for kids up to the 5th grade. During the worship service there is a special “children’s sermon” to help them understand about Jesus on their level. After that point in the service, children ages 0-3 may go to the nursery, and children ages 4-8 are excused for ‘Redeemer Kids’ where they are taught and cared for until the service is over. You’ll be glad to know that we require our childcare workers to be appropriately screened and background-checked. We ask that you register your children before they enter the children’s program because we take their safety seriously.
