| Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Redeemer Lutheran Church located?
Is Redeemer Lutheran Church affiliated with a larger church body?
 Redeemer Lutheran Church is affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, a Bible-based Christian Church dedicated to bringing the good news of God's love to all people, regardless of their circumstances or station in life.
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: The Father (creator of all things); Jesus Christ, His Son (who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan); and the Holy Spirit (who creates faith through God's Word and the Sacraments). These three persons of the Trinity are co-equals and co-eternal. Yet they are truly one God.
Since Redeemer is a Lutheran congregation, we accept and teach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther. These teaching inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century and can be summarized in three short phrases:
Grace alone:
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus-His Son-to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
Scripture alone:
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. The Bible is the sole rule for Christian teaching and practice.
Faith alone:
By His suffering and death as our substitute, Jesus Christ purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for us. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
A Brief History
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod traces its origins to 750 Saxon immigrants who came to Missouri in 1839 seeking freedom from religious persecution in Germany. The first official meeting of the synod was held in Chicago from April 25 to May 6, 1847. The twelve original congregations included about 3,000 persons. One hundred years later, in 1947, the Synod officially changed its name to The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
As of 1993, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod reported a membership of 2.6 million members in 6,218 congregations. The Synod also has 10 colleges, two seminaries, 62 high schools, and the nation's largest Protestant elementary school system, reporting 1,786 elementary schools and preschools. The Synod has 8,389 pastors, 9,951 parochial school teachers, and numerous other full-time workers serving congregations and schools.
