What we do
The Social Ministries Committee consists of a few dedicated Redeemer members who are ready and willing to assist with the needs of our congregation and surrounding communities. The main goal of the committee is to perform acts of love through inspiration and comfort. The two programs we participated in this year were the Thanksgiving Baskets and the Angel Tree Program. The committee stands ready to assist where and when needed both inside of the church and in the community.
