We have also created Faith Stepping Stones for each grade in this population. Check out our website for more information or contact Rozella.

ELCA Youth Gathering – Citizens with the Saints! – Next summer, 36,000+ youth and adults will return to New Orleans for the largest gathering of Christian youth and adults in the country! Every 3 years, the ELCA hosts this youth gathering and the purpose is to practice peacemaking, practice justice and practice discipleship. Next summer the high school youth of Redeemer will attend this event, which will be our summer mission trip experience. Mark your calendars now for this mission trip, July 17-23, 2012. High school youth will meet the first Saturday of the month from 1 pm – 3 pm to prepare for this event. Questions? Visit this page or contact Rozella.
