What We Believe & Redeemer’s History

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, began its ministry as ”The Little Stone Church” on Trinity Avenue in 1903, the 66th year of Atlanta’s existence.  In 1937 the church moved to its present location and became known as the “Church of the Lighted Window”  for the beautiful stained glass window of the Good Shepherd  that faced Peachtree Street. Redeemer survived the difficult years and grew stronger, changing from  a suburban parish to  become  the  urban church of 2500  we  simply call “Redeemer.”   Today Redeemer  is  a vibrant church  recognized for its beauty, warm hospitality, commitment to community, inspiring music, and powerful preaching.

For a number of years Redeemer’s  slogan has been “Come Share Life”. Indeed, that is the purpose of our gathering around word and sacrament and in fellowship with God and one another. We embrace not only that invitation but also the commission to “Go Share Life” in and with the world as well. For more than 25 years we have fed the homeless and poor of Atlanta each weekday. In addition we are  partners  in ministry with the Lutheran Towers, which provides affordable housing for seniors,  numerous other  outreach agencies committed to making a difference in our community and in mission ministries in and outside the United States.

The Redeemer of today continues to meet the challenges of an ever changing world by offering a place where relationships matter, faith is nurtured and the inclusive love of God is celebrated.
