Now that I’ve been here for a few months, it is not only a function of my office but my heartfelt desire to invite you to come share abundant life with us in and through the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer here in Atlanta. We welcome all who profess, or seek to profess, Jesus Christ as their Savior. Believing that the Gospel is God’s gift to all, we rejoice in the diversity of God’s people and welcome all, regardless of age, cultural and economic background, ethnic and linguistic heritage, gender , marital status, physical and mental ability, race, sexual orientation, or any other distinction. We are all one in God’s eyes, sharing in the free gifts of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we encourage all to take part in the life of this congregation as we worship, witness, deepen both our faith and the disciplines and obedience that flow from it, and openly share the love of God through Christ our Lord by serving others. –Pastor Tim Smith
