We offer many different opportunities for adults to become involved in activities at Our Redeemer.
Small Group Ministry
Like nothing else, Small Groups have the power to change lives. They’re the ideal route to discipleship – a place where the rubber of Biblical truth meets the road of human relationships. Small Groups are intentionally formed “communities of care” of 4-12 people that share a common interest and meet regularly in their homes around Scripture, prayer, service, and concern and support for one another.

Stephen Ministry
Their vision statement is The Our Redeemer Stephen Ministry prepares and supports laity who provide Christ-centered care to people facing a variety of crises or are life challenged. A crisis, used in this context, is defined as a dangerous or worrying time; that is, a situation or period in which things are very uncertain, difficult, or painful, especially a time when action must be taken to avoid a complete disaster or breakdown. It is not a foreshadowing of doom, but a time of unbalance, where the trusting relationship between the affected person and God is strained by preoccupation with worldly concerns.
