Welcome to Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church! We organize our thinking and doing into four basic areas of focus: Home, Church, Groups and Others. These four areas are interconnected and work together motivated by the love of Christ.

Who are we?

Our Redeemer is a beacon of faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ.

What is our purpose?

Leading with the Gospel, Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church is a family of faith, built by God's Grace, fed by His Word, sharing the saving love of Christ.

What is our mission?

What impact will we have? Anchored in Christ, we will be a congregation known for shining His light into the world, joyfully speaking of our love for Him, and enfolding people in all stages of life into the household of faith.

What are our core values?

Steadfastness - Firm, Fixed, Steady
Compassion - To suffer along side another
Prayer - An act of worship wherein we bring our petitions before God with our hearts and lips and offer up praise and thanksgiving to Him.
Joy - A response of gladness to the work of God

CLEAN TEAM MINISTRY - HELP WANTED

We are incredibly blessed to have four dedicated Clean Teams at ORELC! These folks maintain all the rooms and hallways that Our Redeemer uses from the Sanctuary to the classrooms to the bathrooms.

If you are interested in serving in this ministry, please know that you can give as much or little time as your schedule allows, but usually only one or two hours per month. Please speak with Jeff Carlson, Head Trustee, with any inquiry about this volunteer opportunity.

 

THE EXCITEMENT OF CALL DAY!

Join the Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana (CTSFW) for a special service announcing vicarage and deaconess internship assignments for second-year students on Monday, April 28 at 7:00 pm. On Tuesday, April 29, at 7:00 pm, graduating pastoral ministry students will learn where they have been called to serve as pastors.

The livestreamed service will be accessible through their Call Day webpage, their Youtube page, and their Facebook page. Afterwards, you’ll be able to find complete lists of assignments and calls, along with photos of CTSFW students and a placement map, on their Call Day website.

Please keep in your prayers the students, families, and congregations involved in these special services.

 

ALTAR FLOWERS

Altar flower memorials and thanksgivings are a lovely way to remember loved ones or mark a special occasion.

The 2025 chart is open to reserve your request of the two arrangements ($50).

Please call the church office for assistance. 232-7575. Thank you.

 

 

RECYCLE INK at ORELC!

Recycling is rewarding and with the help of our office supplies vendor Staples, Our Redeemer Church will earn credits for ink and toner cartridges returned to their store by our Office Administrator.

 

Please bring your empty cartridges to church and place them in the marked narthex box near the church mail bin. ORELC receives money credits for 30 cartridge returns per month. You can help the church while helping the environment, so please consider our ink recycling program next time your printer ink runs low!
