FAMILY MINISTRIES

Mission: To help children into a relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and to partner with and equip parents on how to pass the faith on to their children.

  • "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frame of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:5-9


Parents

Mission: To partner with and equip parents on how to pass the faith on to their children, as they are the primary disciple makers in their homes.

    Safety and Security

    At Redeemer Lutheran Church it is our mission that "each child, teen and adult would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior" (Redeemer's Children's Ministry, 2002).  It is also one of our prayers that each child/teen would find Redeemer a place of safety.  In order to provide as safe and secure environment, to minimize any unwarranted accusation and to provide an environment in which each child can come to know God as loving, compassionate and trustworthy, the following procedures have been adopted.

    Live Wires (6th-7th Grade)

    • "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 

    This Sunday morning program will be working through a 2-year curriculum cycle, while focusing on growing their faith by deepening their understanding of the word of God and understanding who they are in Christ.  


    Switch (8th-12th Grade)

    • I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:16-20 

    This Sunday morning program will be working through a 3–4-year curriculum cycle, while focusing on growing their faith by diving into the word of God, defending their faith, and understanding who they are in Christ.  

    This program includes parent involvement (two times a year parents will be invited to attend a class with their child, and there will be monthly assignments to encourage and develop the communication between teens and their parents. 

    *Confirmation will be enfolded into the Youth discipleship program. Our expectations for being confirmed, are completing at least two years of the youth discipleship program (seniors will be allowed to complete one year), complete at least one Christian service project per year (2 total), and parent involvement by attending the parent sessions (twice a year) and completing the monthly assignments with their child. A home visit will be completed before the student is confirmed. If your child wants to be confirmed please contact Trent Thompson or Valerie Bartel
