We don’t think that church is merely an event to attend, a set of beliefs, or an exclusive club that pulls us out of the normal flow of life. It’s possible to be so busy with “church stuff” that we can’t be present where we are. That’s why we don’t overly program. Our heart is to be equipped to engage life right where God has placed each of us. We are learning how to be a community shaped more and more into disciples of Jesus, joining God in His mission in His world by investing who we are.
THIS IS THE PRIMARY WAY TO JOIN IN THAT PROCESS WITH US
COMMUNITY GROUPS
We launch new Community Groups several times a year through Community Group Launch – a three week introduction to the patterns of life that we’re orienting ourselves around: Family, Discipleship, and Mission. It’s a great place to find connection beyond a weekend, get to know the Redemption community a bit deeper, and begin learning how to live life as a FAMILY of DISCIPLES on MISSION.
If you’re interested in joining a Community Group, please fill out our Community Group Interest form and we’ll get you plugged into the next Launch!
*In this time, while we are not able to meet in person, our groups are meeting online throughout the week, as well as after the service each Sunday. If you are not in a group, but would like to join one of these Sunday discussion groups to dive deeper into the message, you can jump in with the Zoom link below.
MISSIONAL PARTNERS
We participate in mission in the context of community groups, which have freedom to form their own initiatives or work with our key partners:
NEIGHBORHOOD CHAPLAINS
Chaplains are spiritual caregivers who reach out to anyone in need. They have traditionally provided care and support to people going through a hard time. The role of chaplain keeps people connected to their faith and helps make connections to communities of faith for those who don’t have one.
At this unprecedented time in our global history, we see neighborhood chaplains as key leaders who mobilize us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Redemption’s neighborhood chaplains are facilitating systems of care and support in neighborhoods throughout Orange County. They help keep us connected and can connect anyone in need to available resources.
If you would like to participate in loving your neighbor, please reach out to your Neighborhood Chaplain. If you have a need or know someone who does, please communicate that with them.
*neighborhoods are being added as we have willing leaders. If you don’t see your neighborhood listed and would like to help, please contact [email protected]
