Our mission and values demonstrate who we are and flow from what we believe.

Our Mission

Our mission is to glorify God by treasuring Christ, loving one another, and reaching our world.

1

We Exist to Treasure Christ

Our mission to treasure Christ finds expression through Christ-centered worship during corporate Sunday gatherings as well as through expository preaching. All this highlights God’s plan of redemption through the person and work of Jesus Christ unfolding throughout the course of all of Scripture (Luke 24).

We Exist to Love One Another

Love for one another permeates the life of Redeemer through small group ministry, mutual care, prayer, and participation in various ministries with one another.

We Exist to Reach our World

God’s word directs us to reach our world as individuals and corporately through gospel sharing, service, involvement in our various communities (workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, etc.), and planting new churches.

Our Core Values

The core values of any organization reflect who they are and what they believe. At Redeemer Church, we have six core values we promote through every aspect of our ministry.

The Glory of God

God is glorious, and everything exists to give him glory. Everything from the purpose of creation to humanity, to the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, indeed everything, is for the glory of God because he is amazing! We glorify God when we are satisfied in Him, and we glorify God when we align ourselves and our lives with who God is and what God desires for us; we glorify God when we make much of the salvation He has provided for us in Jesus.

Gospel-Centered

When we say that Redeemer is a gospel centered church, we align ourselves with a reformed tradition of how we believe the Scriptures teach us about the doctrine of God, man, sin, and salvation. We believe that God is central in the planning, accomplishing, applying and initiating our salvation. Everything we do at Redeemer is centered on the gospel, proclaiming the good news that Jesus paid it all.

Continuationist

We believe in the active presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit and the continuation of all spiritual gifts for the believer today. The work of the Holy Spirit is to manifest the active presence of God in the world and especially in the church. Therefore, we are eager to experience the presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit at Redeemer from the moment our gathering begins to the very end. And then we seek to walk by the Spirit as we scatter into our lives.

Community

The Scriptures teach us we are all hard-wired for relationships. When God created us in His image, He created us as relational beings, just like He is. At Redeemer Church, we honor God’s design by emphasizing the necessity of making disciples together in community. You will find opportunities to belong and participate in growing relationships with others. No longer alone, but loving, serving and caring for one another in the church is our goal.

Expositional Preaching

At Redeemer, we are committed to expository preaching—meaning, we typically preach through entire books of the Bible, paragraph by paragraph, seeking to allow each text to instruct and transform us. As pastors, we believe the most significant thing we can do for those we are called to serve is to preach the word of God to our church faithfully. When we listen to, respond and apply God’s word to our lives, we grow!

Transfer the Gospel

The Great Commission gives the church a wonderful assignment—to participate in spreading the gospel throughout the world. Therefore, our mission includes reaching the world and passing the good news on to others. This obligation is both corporate and personal. We must all own the responsibility and privilege to communicate the good news in our homes, families, neighborhoods, workplaces, or schools. Our ultimate hope is to see churches planted and missionaries sent from Redeemer Church.

Partnerships

We enjoy a rich relationship with churches & organizations in the Hampton Roads area, in the broader United States, and around the world to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Meet the Leadership

Our pastors love the Lord, the Word of God, and the community in and around Redeemer Church.
