Children & Family Ministry
NOTE: In order to ensure health and safety there continue to be significant modifications to our CFM programs and events for the 2021-2022 school year. Please subscribe to our email list for the latest information.
The Children & Family Ministry at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer grows faith and builds community. At baptism, parents, sponsors, and the congregation promise to support and nurture the faith of our children. The Children’s Ministry at Redeemer partners with families to fulfill these baptismal promises by providing programs and events to support children in their faith development. Children are valued and respected members of our faith community and contribute through service, leadership, and fellowship.
All our programs build faith through one or more of these methods:
- Worship
- Study
- Service
- Fellowship
We do this through Sunday School, Faith Stepping Stones, and Family Events throughout the year.
About Family Events
Faith formation is most powerful when we grow together. CFM events are targeted toward kids 5th grade and under with their families, and provide opportunities for the whole family to learn, worship, pray, serve, and build community together. (Older siblings are encouraged to come along and can always ask for a leadership role. These events are also great opportunities for grandparents and Godparents to have quality time and support the faith formation of the children they love.)
Some of our favorite regular events are the Family Camping Trip, Monster Mash, Family Advent Celebration, GA Tech Pool Party, Family Easter Vigil and Egg Hunt, and many more!

We can’t wait to see you there!
Sunday School is an essential way of laying the foundations for life-long faith.
Sing and Play brings together all our children's Sunday School classes on certain Sundays for music led by our Dad Band, learning, and fun!
Held during the 11:00 service, Children's Church engages kids age 4-2nd grade in worship designed especially for them.
Our professionally staffed nursery cares for children 0-4 years of age. It is available on Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and for other events as announced.
Redeemer has a robust children's music program including choirs, handbells, and performance. This program is led by Sarah Hawbecker.
Redeemer supports a number of camping opportunities through Novus Way, which offers camps at Lutheridge, Lutherock, Lutheranch (one hour from Atlanta!), Luther Springs, and day camps.
Vacation Bible School
NOTE: VBS was cancelled for 2020, but we look forward with great anticipation to resuming it in 2021. At Redeemer it is typically scheduled in the first full week of June.
Vacation Bible School (VBS) engages kids in a week of intensive fun, learning, friendship, and worship for one week every summer. Our church building is transformed according to the theme for the year to create a setting for adventure!
VBS is held on weekday mornings, with an option of aftercare in the afternoons. There are ways for all ages to be involved. Visitors and friends are welcome!
