Worship at Redeemer
Redeemer’s worship is traditional, liturgical, and dynamic! Grounded in the ancient liturgy, permeated with God’s Word, themed with our Lutheran heritage, and enhanced with superb music and musical groups – what a great way to receive God’s gracious gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation in Jesus each week!
Our worship before God is based on what He has taught us through His Word, the Bible. Since it is God who graciously gives us life and salvation, we first gladly receive from Him and then respond in prayer and praise. This is called “Divine Service” because in it God serves us His Word and Sacraments. He serves us His gifts, and we thankfully receive. Our worship stems from our faith, and speaks the words of faith given us by God.

Worship Overview
Sanctuary
The Sanctuary, also called the nave, serves as the primary worship space. This is where we gather together each week to praise and honor Our Lord and Savior, hear His word, receive the gift of forgiveness and receive the Sacraments.
The Hymnal
The Lutheran Service Book (LSB) serves as our hymnal. It is a rich compilation of Christ-centered services, psalms, hymns, and prayers to nourish the faithful each week. There are multiple copies of the hymnal located in each pew for use during the worship service. The service bulletin notes the page numbers for all hymns and parts of the liturgy used during the Divine Service.
Service Guide (Bulletin)
A service guide, or bulletin, is provided by an usher upon entering the sanctuary. The worship guide provides the order of worship including the hymns, prayers, readings, and liturgical responses for the day. It also includes weekly announcements, news, and upcoming activities.
Holy Communion
Through Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper, we receive Christ's true body and blood, given and shed for the forgiveness of our sins. We currently celebrate the Lord's Supper on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.
We believe participation in the sacrament assumes a common unity of faith and doctrine. We therefore ask that all guests who are not in fellowship with the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod contact one of the pastors prior to the Divine Service before presenting themselves at the Altar for the Holy Communion.
Vestments and Paraments
Vestments are the various garments the pastors wear during the worship service. The paraments and altar clothes are what adorn the pulpit, lectern, and altar. The color of the vestments and paraments are reflective of the current color of the liturgical season.
