We’ve loved seeing so many new faces over the last few months! If one of those new faces was yours, we’re glad you’re here! We know getting connected at a new church can be challenging. We would love to get to know you better and help you get to know us better!

Join us for lunch and meet Redeemer leaders and other newcomers, hear some of our stories, ask questions, and discover the next steps for getting involved. This is an excellent opportunity to get connected! Join us in the Speck Gallery on November 3rd after the 11 am service. 

All ages are welcome. Childcare and pizza will be provided. 

“Within the church in the West it is almost universally acknowledged that we live in a post-Christian culture,” writes Mark Sayers in his book, Disappearing Church. For that reason, the exhortation from Peter (1 Peter 3:15) to be prepared to make a defense for the hope of the Gospel is all the more relevant and crucial. This November, New Life Presbyterian Church in Yorktown will offer its third annual FREE apologetics conference to assist the church with this challenge. Join us November 2 as Aaron Renn and Senator John Crane help us navigate honoring God in a hostile culture. Lunch will be provided!

If you’re looking for a simple way to support local students while also sprucing up your yard, consider signing up for the Herron Young Life yard-raking fundraiser! Not only will you enjoy a beautifully cleaned-up space, but you'll also be helping young people in the community pay for summer camp.

It’s a win-win situation—your yard will look fantastic, and you’ll be contributing to the growth of these students in a fun, uplifting environment. Join us, and let’s make this season bright together!

Looking for a fun and welcoming place to connect with other high school students? Join us for High School Small Groups! You'll love the relaxed atmosphere and engaging discussions that take place in different homes throughout the area. Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to build friendships and grow together.

During the year, our deacon team cares for a number of individuals and families in tangible ways. Jenny Karraker, a Redeemer member, has led us in creating beautiful handmade cards for those in our church body who have been hospitalized, received a meal train, are more homebound, and more. These cards serve as a source of encouragement and help remind people that their church family loves them and cares for them.

Consider stopping by the gym during this Sunday's 10 am Sunday school hour to make a card that will be sent to various individuals and families throughout the year. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
