Ministry Organizations and Groups

Here is a list of Organizations that are active at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer.  We would love for you to join as many of these as you can.  Please contact the church office if you have any questions about joining any the these groups.

Altar Guild.  Members care for the liturgical vestments and hardware, and they set up and take down for all worship services.

Canterbury.    Ministry of and to students at La Tech University and area colleges. We have an active group of students, designated space for fellowship and study, and Wednesday services, dinner, and activity.  Our Canterbury Association meets every Wednesday evening from September through May at 6:30 at Redeemer. Usually on the first and third Wednesdays of those months we will have a celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the church.

Children's Ministries.  Each Sunday there is a weekly children's chapel (during the Liturgy of the Word).  There is also vacation bible school each summer, and other events throughout the year.
