Redeemer

Our Driving Force

We exist to journey with the de-churched peoples of Atlanta to become a gospel-centered community.

The de-churched are people who are interested in spirituality and its meaning. They would like a deeper connection with God, but for some reason they have felt 'burned' by organized religion. They may believe the Church is made up of people whose culture, lifestyle or voting record is different from their own.

Our Core Values

Gospel-centric - Because we believe redemption is the biggest thing God has done since Creation, we will align our lives to his purposes through repentance and faith. Every ministry of our church must be focused on sharing this good news with others in our city and in our world.

Culturally Engaged - Since we have been created in the image of a creative God, we also create. We powerfully communicate the message of Christ to our culture as we engage in the arts and interact with the salient ideas of our day.

Authenticity / Emotionally Transparent - Because the Triune God has loved us in our brokenness, we can live in courageous vulnerability, making the incarnation of Jesus our model for loving well.

Relationally Transformational - Because transformation happens only in relationship as we receive Christ and walk with him, we will journey with all who will walk with us toward God and toward serving our city.

Unity in Diversity - The church is called to embrace people of diverse backgrounds with a Spirit-given unity. That means though we may be very different from each other, in humility we will celebrate our diversity and learn from those with whom we differ, whether in culture, politics, theology or over crunchy vs. smooth peanut butter.

Prayer Engagement - Prayer engages the work of the Holy Spirit, the indispensable agent of any ministry. We are committed to developing lives of private and corporate prayer for our church, our city and the nations.
