going out in mission!

local, regional and global

Jesus said, in Matthew 22: 37-40: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first and Great Commandment, and the second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”


At Christ the Redeemer we have partnered with over 12 agencies from our community and beyond to serve and bless others with the love of Jesus Christ. In addition, we commit 10% of our pledged income to mission.  If you are interested in learning more either contact the church here or Sandy Tisdale, our Mission leader here.

Local needs

Bottled water needed

With the steady high temperatures this time of year (and it is going to be hot for a while), one of Union Gospel Mission’s  and Presbyterian Night Shelter ‘s greatest needs is for individual bottled water. Being outside for long periods of time can be extremely dangerous for an individual experiencing homelessness. The risk of heat stroke, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and even death are very real. We need your help to beat the heat this summer.
CTR is proud to partner with UGM and Presbyterian Night Shelter ministering to the homeless in Ft. Worth. Bring a case of bottled water to CTR in June and July, and we will drop off the cases weekly.
