Redeemer is in the Harrison neighborhood of north Minneapolis committed to being a fully affirming and inclusive congregation where people of all ages, races, ethnicities, genders, orientations, and abilities are welcome to celebrate, participate in, receive, and share God's embrace.

Our mission is to be a beacon of hope to residents of the Harrison Neighborhood, to the people of North Minneapolis, and for the greater church around the world.

Mission

We seek to be a faithful witness to the love of Jesus Christ for all people, and to be recognized by the community as a safe and caring place for area residents, especially youth and children.

We seek to maintain a dynamic and impactful ministry through the development of authentic, transformational relationships.

In partnership with Redeemer Center for Life and other mission partners, we seek to serve the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the community through youth programming, affordable housing, educational programs and faith-based activities.

Values & Goals

Redeemer Lutheran Church’s 100-year story continues to unfold as our diverse community worships and serves together reflecting the kingdom of God on earth. Our congregation’s deep impulse is toward a dynamic, impactful ministry through the development of authentic, transformational relationships and open doors with the surrounding community. As a “beacon of hope” in North Minneapolis, we  worship and pray together as well as study scripture and provide a variety of activities and opportunities for ministry, including seasonal meditations, youth and children's activities, zoom fellowship, virtual worship, outdoor worship, and more…

Our Story

In 1998, Redeemer formed the Redeemer Center for Life, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization as an extension of our ministry, with the partnership from our suburban partner congregations. A member of the North Minneapolis Harrison Neighborhood since 1909, Redeemer Lutheran Church seeks to be a faithful witness to the love of Jesus Christ for all people and strives to be a safe and caring space for area residents, especially children and youth.

We invite you to come as you are, and join us in authentic and spirit-filled prayer and worship in action.

Meet Redeemer!

  • Redeemer Center for Life is the non-profit partner of Redeemer Lutheran Church, a faith community that has been part of the Harrison neighborhood of North Minneapolis for over 100 years.

    In 1999 the congregation founded Redeemer Center in response to the neighborhood’s identification of three primary desires: job growth, attainable housing, and youth development.

    As a community development organization, we invest in the people who make Harrison their home so that all our neighbors are encouraged to grow, thrive and contribute to their fullest potential.
