All Are Welcome

Faithfully Rooted in the Word,

Joyfully Reverent in Worship,

Gratefully Present in the World.

Letter of Welcome

Welcome to the new website for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. We are a community of faith which has been serving Christ in mission in the city of St. Paul for over 125 years. Founded in 1890, we have been located on the corner of Dale Street and Carroll Avenue in the historic Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul (also known as Summit-University) since 1911.

We are a congregation of the Saint Paul Area Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and so are a Word and Sacrament ministry - where both the preached Word of God in scripture and the celebration of the sacraments of baptism and holy communion are equally emphasized. In our worship and community life we invite women and men, seniors, young adults and children to be leaders and to grow in faith.

We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, genders and sexual orientations, and have been a Reconciling in Christ congregation since 2001. We are a congregation which offers the rite of marriage to all couples, regardless of gender, who seek a place of worship as the setting for their wedding vows.

Worship is at the heart of all that we do, when we gather as a community of faith on Sunday mornings, and are sent out into the world to do justice and love our neighbor, following the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

We invite the whole community to share our facility, and welcome the families of Project Home, neighborhood support groups, Girl Scouts, children, youth and seniors groups, immigrant congregations and community organizations to gather and meet at Redeemer to do their work.

But most of all, we welcome you to visit us, and explore our community of faith. If you are looking for a church home, a place where your faith will be challenged and nurtured, we invite you to come worship with us on Sunday mornings. You will be warmly greeted and welcomed!

Peace in Christ.

Pastor James Erlandson
