Christian Education

Redeemer offers Sunday morning Christian Education classes for children, youth, and adults during the 11 a.m. hour. 

At Redeemer, we speak frequently about discipleship and spiritual formation. We use the word discipleship because to be a disciple is to follow Christ and to become like him. We use the phrase spiritual formation because the Apostle Paul talks about the Holy Spirit forming us into Christ's image. This involves a transformation of our minds, as well as our hearts and relationships. It affects everything. Therefore, in each aspect of our life at Redeemer, the goal is to see us become more like Jesus.   

Within our Adult Christian Education program, we will have all sorts of classes: You will see classes on biblical books, theological topics, or current cultural issues as they arise. But we will always keep in the rotation our seven core Spiritual Formation classes. These classes are designed to usher adults from all kinds of spiritual backgrounds into a grace-filled relationship with Jesus Christ, an open and growing understanding of themselves, and deeply mature relationships with others. 

Some of our Adult Christian Education classes also serve as a core curriculum for those desiring to serve in areas of greater responsibility at Redeemer. Learn more about our Adult Christian Education classes below and watch the announcements for details about class offerings each semester.

The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.

Matthew 13:31-32

In this class we take time to reflect on the connections that exist between who we are and what we do. We’ll discuss calling, gifting, vocation, and stewardship in ways that seek to unite all the various aspects of what we do with the depth of who we are in Christ.

We believe that God is enlisting each of us in the service of his kingdom. This class will explore the habits of heart and practices of relating that will equip us to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world.
