OUR BEGINNING
Christ Our Redeemer Lutheran Church was founded on January 20, 2006.
Along with the help of Pastor Mark Raitz, we came together to form a congregation based on Holy Scripture. After much discussion and prayer we held our first official service on Sunday February 5, 2006.
We believe that the church is the assembly of all believers among who the Gospel is preached in its truth and purity and that the sacraments are administered according to the Gospel.
(Augsburg Confession-Article VII.)
Christ Our Redeemer became Chartered with the Missouri Synod in June 2013. We are in fellowship with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod English District.
Christ Our Redeemer is a congregation who truly cares for each other. A congregation where we confess, worship, believe and live the faith of Christ who is our Redeemer! Our congregation is small and growing. We are a "family" who care about each other. Individuals who all have special gifts that God has given us to use. We encourage one another to share those gifts to glorify God. We invite you to join us
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Christ Our Redeemer is a true Lutheran Church.
We accept and acknowledge that all the Canonical books of the Old and New Testament as the inspired and revealed word of God
We believe that all of the writings contained in the Book of Concord of 1580 are a true and sound
representation of Christian doctrine, taken from and in agreement with Holy Scripture
The Book of Concord contain these:
The Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed, and Athanasian Creed ( a creed is simply a statement of what we believe)The unaltered Augsburg ConfessionThe Apology of the Augsburg ConfessionThe Smalcald ArticlesLuther's Large CatechismLuther's Small CatechismThe Formula of ConcordIn simple terms, we base all that we teach on the Holy Bible, in word and sacraments.
Our Goals
Our "family" atmosphere is our most important goal.
We want to be close to one another, giving love and support to every member.
Teaching the Gospel in its truth and purity. In today's society we want to live in the Gospel but we can not forget that God also gave us the Law.
In today's society we want to live in the Gospel but we can not forget that God also gave us the Law.Supporting our Community and Neighbors.
Being a good neighbor to people who are in need and giving them a place where they can experience the peace that only God can give.Reasons not to go to church
I believe in God, why do I have to go to church
It doesn't say in the bible I have to go to church
I work six days a week, I need a day to sleep
I'm too busy to go to church
The only thing a church wants is money
The sermons are dull, music is boring, people are hypocrites.
Why you should attend Church
Because you believe in God!
Learning- the word is being taught in it's purity How to
read Gods word and how to understand it.
Strength- we grow in strength as we study God's word
Peace- knowing God is ALWAYS there no matter what.
Love- you learn to love the way God loves
Forgiveness- you learn to forgive yourself as well as others
Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another ---and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
We believe that the Bible is the TRUE word of God
and is not open for human interpretation.
Revelation 22:18-19
18) For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19) and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written

Luke 24:1-7
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’
