Stories of Grace

In August, our family got a phone call with news that turned everything in our world upside down. Our four-year-old daughter, Alice, has cancer. That phone call knocked us to our knees. But from our knees, God has given us a unique perspective of his kindness, his love, his all-sufficiency, his sovereignty and his gracious redemption over all that is broken in our world.

Over the last five months, the Lord has used his word to show us his promises and his character. He has also used his ...

My name is Mai-Britt. My husband Tom and I first came to Redeemer with our children in 2015. Tom is an orthopaedic surgeon in the Army. Military life brings with it many challenges, and finding a church after a move is one of them.

Shortly after we had our first child, the military stationed us in Germany. There a friend invited us to attend a small Bible church where we experienced true, relational Christian community. Our faith deepened and Christ became more central to our family life. When ...

My husband Rob is in the military, and in 2006 our family was stationed in San Antonio.  We learned about Redeemer because a friend of a friend worshipped here.  At our first service, members invited us to lunch and connected us with other young military families to help us navigate our move.  We visited several other churches as well, but we continued to gravitate back to Redeemer.

My wife and I were relatively new to the San Antonio area, and were invited by friends to ...

“I have been a member at Redeemer since the early days of the church but in the past two years God has really used Redeemer to promote serious change and growth in my life. Growing up, I never truly understood God’s grace and have lived my life with good principles instilled by my family that hard work pays off. I never wanted my disabilities to interfere with my success and I have always believed that controlling my environment would allow me to succeed, which it did for many years.

“Jason and I met in high school, married after college, moved to Idaho where our first child was born and moved to San Antonio when she was two. We were thrilled to find out we were expecting our second child in the summer. Things were right on track for my idea of our ‘perfect life.’

"I first came to Redeemer because my life was in crisis and I needed refuge from the storms. I was going through an extremely difficult time and needed Godly counsel, biblical direction and Christian fellowship. My first impression upon visiting Redeemer’s Sunday morning service was that I was welcome, I was safe, and I was among friends.

Always having been really involved in the church and ministry, I knew theology and understood my own sin. But, going through a messy divorce made me realize ...
