Trustees

At Our Redeemer, our Trustees are warm, dedicated volunteers who pour their hearts into keeping our church home beautiful, safe, and welcoming for every generation—from our littlest newborns to our cherished seniors.

With joyful generosity, our Trustees ensure:

Our lawns stay neatly trimmed and blooming through the warm Rhode Island summers,
Walkways and parking areas are quickly cleared after snowy New England winters—so Sunday mornings are always stress-free and safe,
Our building shines with fresh paint and spotless cleanliness, creating a bright and inviting space where families love to gather,
Everything is thoughtfully insured and fully compliant with local guidelines, giving us all peace of mind.

These caring servants work quietly behind the scenes so that when you walk through our doors (whether you're a longtime member or visiting for the first time), you’re greeted by a warm, well-cared-for space that says, “You belong here.”

Come experience the warmth for yourself! We’d love to welcome you and your family at Our Redeemer—there’s always room for one more at the table.

He rebuilt it and covered it and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars. And he built the wall of the Pool of Shelah of the king's garden, as far as the stairs that go down from the city of David.
