About Us
At Church of the Redeemer, you will experience a multi-generational congregation in St. Paul that shares in the ministry of reconciliation through worship, testimony, and faithful presence.
Worship forms and expresses our communion with God and with one another. As living members of the body of Christ, we value worship and prayer as transformational practices through which God works in and through us.
Through the testimony of our words and actions, we serve as ambassadors of Jesus’ kingdom, through whom God invites the world to be reconciled to Himself and to one another.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is central to who we are, and our discipleship to Him is a lifelong journey.
Since God is present with us by the Holy Spirit, He guides and strengthens us for the work He has given us to do. We gather and are sent out to different places and callings, yet we remain one people committed to redemptive relationships, primarily in the Frogtown neighborhood of St. Paul.
OUR AFFILIATION & BELIEFS
We belong to the Anglican Church in North America. Church of the Redeemer is a congregation in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh under Bishop Alex Cameron.
The Anglican church is rich in history and globally dynamic, reaching into over 160 countries and accounting for approximately 78 million people worldwide. Anglicanism professes the historic Christian faith, namely…
- The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as containing all things necessary to salvation and being the rule and ultimate standard of faith
- The Apostles’ Creed as the baptismal symbol and the Nicene Creed as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith
- The two sacraments ordained by Christ himself—Baptism and the Supper of the Lord—ministered with unfailing use of Christ’s words of institution, and of the elements ordained by him
- The historic episcopate (the office of bishop–originating with the apostles), locally adapted in the methods of its administration to the varying needs of the nations and peoples called of God into the unity of His Church
The Book of Common Prayer, 39 Articles of Religion, and Book of Homilies are three unique standards of Anglican belief and worship.
Our History
In 2007, members of Church of the Cross in Hopkins, MN began meeting for midweek Evening Prayer in Roseville. One of their prayers at that time was that God would someday use them to plant a church in St. Paul. God answered those prayers and has given life and growth to what is now Church of the Redeemer. Church of the Redeemer began weekly worship in the east metro as a second service of Church of the Cross in 2010, launched as Church of the Redeemer in 2011, and gathered for worship in the Como Park neighborhood from 2012 to January 2017. February 2017 we began to meet in Arden Hills at the home of Gathering Place Lutheran Ministries (formerly Trinity Lutheran Church of Lake Johanna). 2020–2025 we gathered for Sunday worship at Calvary Church in Roseville. On Sunday, November 30, we began worshipping at our permanent church home, at 739 Lafond Ave. in St. Paul.
To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism
This catechism (a text used for instruction of Christian disciples) is designed as a resource for formation in Christian faith. It presents the essential building blocks of classic catechetical instruction: the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments. We offer small group discipleship groups on a regular basis that use this catechism as a resource for instruction and discussion.
