Favorite Bible Verse(s)

Hope for Redeemer
My hope for the continuing ministry here at Redeemer is that we are an inspirational place where Jesus Christ is the focus and power for the continual building of personal relationships through worship, Bible Study, small support groups and mission outreach. We need to continually connect in our church family in order to reach out into our community to proclaim the message of salvation, create accountability and nurture our faith in action.

About Mike
As far as I can remember I have always in some way, shape or form been involved in church life. Early on I had parents and a number of important individuals who mentored and encouraged me in my faith walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is why to this day I believe that one of the most important things that we can do in the church is to connect people in relationships that encourage, mentor and develop our faith lives. One of the great joys I have had here at Redeemer is to witness how God through His grace has changed the lives of countless people. We at Redeemer believe strongly that all our members are ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and are called into ministry. We encourage the development of spiritual gifts and the passion for ministry that God gives to his people.
