This ceremony is a public commitment made by parents, signaling their intent to raise their child in the ways of Jesus and guide them in the process of becoming a channel for God’s activity and promise.  It also provides an opportunity for our congregation to confirm our promise to come alongside families and offer our support and love as they lead their children on the journey of faith. 

Nancy Bartelt and Jo Overholt and I would like to invite all the elementary and early childhood moms to join us for a casual gathering at Jo's house!  

Join us for an insightful conversation on the impact of digital culture, the power of embodied relationships, and practical, faith-based strategies to create a healthier, more connected family life. Together, we’ll explore how to be a safe harbor for our kids, set wise boundaries, and model the kind of life we hope they will embrace. Join us for this special FREE event!

Let’s come together to share stories, connect, and enjoy time with everyone who has been part of the work this year. Whether you helped out once or every week, your presence has shaped our community. We’ll have food, games, and space to simply be together. Let us thank you!

Join us for a special U18 rite of passage during our worship service on Sunday, June 1

This is a one-night introduction for anyone interested—whether you're a parent, a potential volunteer, a student, or just want to know more. We'll share our vision for discipling students, how our ministry is structured, and how you can get involved or stay informed.

Join us for a fun-filled Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 13th, immediately after church! This event is open to all kids 5th grade and younger and features two designated areas for hunting: one for elementary students (K–5th grade) and one for younger children (Preschool & under).

Nursery and Toddler Room Volunteers, please join us for our annual volunteer training before church on Jan. 26th. 

Join us for an evening with Meredith Miller, author of Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn't Have to Heal From. Meredith will share her refreshing perspective about how we help our kids get to know who God is.

You have probably heard about our preschool curriculum, Godly Play, but I would love to give you an opportunity to experience it in action. Therefore, I will be hosting a Godly Play session, just as I typically would for our preschoolers, but for all of you! 

Parenting is not easy. Parenting as Christians in a world where Christianity has made so many wrong turns is... almost impossible. As a staff and community we have talked a lot about deconstruction and reconstruction, but what about our children?

Join us for a training event designed to communicate the oddness of Redemption Church. What makes our U18 ministries so strange? What is my role as a leader? How do we understand ministry to young people? 

Join us after church on Palm Sunday, March 24th from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM for an egg-cellent Easter Egg Hunt!

Our annual parent information meeting is for any parent at Redemption Church who would like to know more about youth and children's ministry at Redemption Church. Here you will get an opportunity to ask questions and hear a presentation from our early childhood, elementary, and youth directors.

Have you volunteered in the Nursery, Toddler, Godly Play, Elementary, Club 56, or Youth areas over this past year? You are invited to a night of dinner and games. The leadership at Redemption Church wants to appreciate you! Please register and plan on having a great night. 

The easter egg hunt is back! Let’s gather together in the back yard and let our kids have a great time gathering easter eggs. There will be two zones (Preschool and Elementary) so that each age group will have a better experience hunting eggs. We will meet right after Church and start at noon.

A Family Sunday at Redemption Church is a special Sunday that invites all of our children who are Kindergarten and older to stay in the main service with us for the Sermon. We do this because we believe that Family Sunday is integral to the spiritual formation of our children and congregation. There will be no classes for 12th Grade - Preschool. Toddler and Nursery rooms will still be open.

If you have a child who is about to be 3 and a half or a child going into Kindergarten at Redemption Church for the 2021-22 school year or are just interested in what we do in the preschool and elementary ministries, you are welcome to attend a meeting to discuss what these ministries at Redemption are and what they are not. You will find ways to connect, stay informed, and what our rhythms and symbols mean. Finally, you will learn how our preschool and elementary ministries connect to the larger body of Redemption Church and what you can expect as your child journey's through this time together toward Club 56.

As you know, the suspension of our in-person services at Redemption Church has affected not only us as adults but also our children. We recognize that the children who are part of our congregation are equal members and should be brought into fellowship and communion with others just as much as we are. To that end, we regret that we have struggled to find effective ways to foster this. We are, however, excited to announce Redemption’s new plan for virtual (but live!) gatherings for our preschool and elementary children.
