​Children & Youth 

​Redeemer loves kids, and we welcome them in worship just as they are, noises and all! Through Redeemer Lutheran Church's children's and youth ministries, young people in our congregation and community are provided a safe place to belong and be loved through weekly kids' sermons, children's activities, family camp, Northside Confirmation classes in collaboration with our sibling churches Christ the River of Life and Salem ELCA, and JUMP ReMix with the Center for Leadership and Neighborhood Engagement (CLNE). Through these and other partnerships, we are able to introduce many youth and young adults to their first opportunities on a college campus, first internships, first jobs, first organized sports team, and more.  Redeemer doesn’t stop at firsts, but uses the first point of engagement to springboard into life-long community- building relationships. For more information about how to get involved, contact Youth & Family Minister Lonna Field.

Social Justice

Redeemer is committed to working for social justice and equity in our neighborhood, North Minneapolis, and wherever we have influence. We strive for to be reconcilers among people of color, minorities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and as representatives of the Body of Christ who is all and is in all (Col. 3:11).

During 2017, Redeemer partnered with Edina Community Lutheran Church and Westwood Lutheran Church to co-sponsor a monthly race forum through which we engaged with congregants and the community about how to be a Beacon of Hope for racial justice. The process of learning and listening ultimately birthed the Black Lives Matter Coalition within Redeemer. 

In 2018 and 2019, Redeemer is continuing the work of reconciliation as we fully establish and solidify our commitment to LGBTQIA+ inclusion and affirmation, and to learning from our queer, Black, Indigenous, Muslim, and Immigrant neighbors what it means to be the full reflection of God as people of all races, faiths, genders, and orientations building God's Kingdom.
