A church grounded in love

Church of the Redeemer is a congregation that grew out of the intersection of the eternal, unchanging love of Jesus being carried into new places and new, living expressions. We are a church where ancient faith meets present day community mission.

Who we are

Love.

We are called to love God and our neighbor. Love grounds and energizes all that we do at Redeemer, inspiring us to be a church open to all people and to be a community rooted in the continuing life and work of Jesus Christ.

Serve.

We embrace our mission to reconcile all people to God and each other, starting here in Kansas City. We seek to help and support our community, lifting up the physical and spiritual well-being of our neighbors.

Welcome.

Just as God has graciously welcomed us in Christ to live in the Spirit of grace, joy, and purpose, we seek to invite everyone into the fellowship of God's love and to model the message of Jesus within our life together.

Like Jesus.

Jesus is at the center of everything we do at Redeemer, and as a community we bring all of what we are to be more like him. Just as Jesus worked to help all people know and experience the good news about God's love and salvation, we also aim to make our lives a light to the world.

Founded to form disciples, called to share the Good News of Jesus for generations to come

The Church of the Redeemer began in the 1950s as an outgrowth of Roanridge, a ministry training center equipping ministry leaders to serve in rural and under-supported Midwestern communities. The church building was built in 1960 at the edge of Platte Woods, and expanded in the 80's to our present space. Since then, we've formed multiple generations of disciples, laying foundations for our future, and witnessing God's work through diverse peoples and ministries, growing with our surrounding community. We honor our roots by continuing to imagine new possibilities with God and by equipping God's people to serve wherever we are called.
