Get to Know Redeemer

Redeemer Presbyterian Church is a community of faith provoked by the Redeemer's grace to share his unity, comfort, and healing with Sugar Land and beyond.

A community of faith...

"The gospel is the power of salvation for all who believe." (Romans 1:16) The defining mark of this church will be faith in the message of God to redeem and restore a broken world. The assurance of the gospel is the hope and promise that God sent His Son to give life back to our world and to our souls. To be part of the Kingdom of God is to taste a community defined by faith and to experience the reality-defining hope that changes hearts, minds, and communities. Our Redeemer, Jesus Christ brings that hope through the gospel and creates a new humanity where all who are weary, sick, and broken can find rest and peace. Redeemer seeks to be defined as a church that transforms the lives, families, work places, and communities of Sugar Land to be made more beautiful by God's grace in the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Provoked by the Redeemer's grace...

Grace is being given what we do not deserve. The Gospel is a gift from God for undeserving sinners. The power of what the gospel offers is the ability to experience grace through the reality of what Christ has done for us at the cross at Calvary. As we receive and rest in God's undeserved grace for us in Christ, we are provoked to share this love and grace to the world around us. We will be moved to carry on His mission of loving others and redeeming a shattered world. His grace creates a new heart that not only transforms, but that also enables those transformed to be agents of further change. Redeemer aims to be a community that shares and proclaims the glorious wonders of God's grace and draws near to the community around us.


To share his unity, comfort, and healing with Sugar Land and beyond.

When God's grace touches our lives, we are united with those who have experienced that same grace. All the societal barriers and hierarchy that once separated us are broken down because Christ is the source of our unity. However, being united with those who are vastly different from us can be difficult and uncomfortable unless we find our comfort in Jesus Christ. For if Christ is our comfort, we will willingly sacrifice our comforts to love and care for others. Furthermore, God's grace not only compels us to be united and willing to sacrifice our comforts for others, it also brings profound healing and wholeness in our lives. When we recognize the depths of our own sin and the trauma of living in a sinful and broken world, we realize that Christ is the only one who can offer us the true healing that we need through what He has accomplished for us at the cross.


Those of us who have experienced God's grace are called to share this unity, comfort, and healing with the community that God has placed us in. Redeemer will seek to lead our community of faith in serving our neighbors by actively engaging and reaching out to those who live in the Sugar Land/Fort Bend County area with the gospel of grace that God has given to us. This defining mark of reflecting God's grace to others will lead the church toward serving the greater Houston Metro area as well as taking part in ministries nationally and internationally.

What We Believe

  • We believe that God exists and rules over this world he created. He exists in the form of one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The word "Trinity" is used to describe God's being. God is good, which means that his actions are not capricious or vindictive toward his creation, but are always designed to bring about only what is best for his people. In his rule, he is concerned with both compassion and justice.

  • We believe that Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, is both fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit; his mother was a virgin chosen by God to give birth to this baby who would become the Savior. Jesus lived a sinless life and yet died a criminal's death on the cross. He was buried, but three days after his death, he physically rose from the dead, completing a plan God instituted before the first man was created. His life and his death are now substituted for those who place their faith in what he has done. Jesus ascended to Heaven and now rules from there, making all things new, anticipating the day when he will make a triumphal return to this earth.

  • We believe that the Bible is a faithful and true guide to what we are to believe and how we are to live our lives. We believe that this book is unlike any other. Everything we need to know about God and how to have a relationship with him and his people is contained within its pages. Through them, God changes us, healing our brokenness and restoring our beauty.

  • We believe that every person who has ever lived on this earth, except Jesus, is deeply flawed. Our brokenness separates us from God's perfection, so we are incapable of reaching him on our own. Jesus is our way of reaching God. When God begins to work in our lives, he makes us aware of our need for a Savior, and he lovingly draws us and adopts us into his family. Our sinfulness does not count against us and our goodness does not count for us. Jesus' life of perfect obedience is credited to all who repent and believe.

  • We unashamedly embrace the historical creeds of the church (e.g., The Nicene Creed and The Apostles' Creed) and stand alongside Christians down through the ages. Our denomination has its roots in the reformation of the 16th century. During this time, several written statements of our beliefs were formulated: the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, the Belgic Confession, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. We do not believe that these documents are equal in authority with the Bible, nor do we believe that they are without errors, but we do believe that they are a clear and accurate summary of what the Bible teaches.

  • The Christian faith is not something that can be lived out alone. God has called his people down through the ages to live in community— the church. We face our struggles together and we taste the life of heaven together. And together we recognize the glory of the church's redeemer, Christ the Lord!

  • We believe that when Jesus rose from the dead, he established his kingdom on earth. This kingdom is presently a partial reality of the kingdom that will be established when he comes again. As his followers, we are called to honor his rule by working to bring healing and beauty into this world. We are to seek justice for the oppressed, extend mercy to the hurting, take the message of the gospel wherever we go, and share what we have with others.

  • We joyfully affirm our unity with all committed followers of Jesus Christ, in any denomination. Redeemer prays for, supports and joins with others to bring God's healing to the whole community and the surrounding area.

Worship

Historically Connected

To be a Christian is to be part of a movement of God that extends throughout the ages. It includes both those who came before us as well as those who come after us. Therefore, a genuine Christian community will be a community that stands on the wisdom of those before us and builds for the generations to come.


Presently Comprehensible

The incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ is a clear statement that God desires us to know Him. Jesus came that we might know God and to have life today. Even if you have very little experience with the church or if perhaps you have had terrible experiences, it is the hope of Redeemer to be a place where you can experience the power of God's love today. What the gospel offers is freedom to approach God through Christ and that hope defines our approach to spirituality and life.


Future Oriented

Jesus says that there is a day coming where he will personally wipe away every tear, that he will utterly remove all sickness and heartache, and that he will fully make new our souls. It is this great gospel hope that will guide and direct our community of faith. A longing for this promise of God is expressed and experienced as we gather to worship Him.
