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 Mission opportunities

Rivertree Academy

Rivertree Academy, a private Christian school that provides education for under resourced students in the Lake Como neighborhood, is one of our CTR Local Mission Partners. We share the love of Christ with the students and faculty of Rivertree through our prayers, joint worship opportunities, volunteer service at the school, and by providing financial and in-kind support.

There are three ways you can serve Rivertree this school year:
1. We have started our collection on snacks for them. Snacks should be individually packaged and non-perishable (e.g.: Goldfish, pretzels, crackers, granola bars, fruit rollups, etc.) Donations can be placed in the plastic bins just inside the doors of the nave.

2. Rivertree has set up a school supply wish list on Amazon:

The address will be 'Andrea Brock'.

3. Volunteering: Check out their volunteer opportunities on their web site: https://rivertreeacademy.org/volunteer
