Service will start at 6:00PM, but we hope you will join us for some pre-service treats in the lobby at 5:30!

Are you looking for joy this season? Do you feel frazzled with all the stuff to do during the holidays? Shouldn't this be easier?

Join the club.

No matter what this year, and the last few, have looked like for you, it surely held challenges you couldn't have anticipated. Most of us feel like life is always swinging up and down. Can't we find some peace? Some joy?

Throughout the Advent season at Redemption, we will see how Jesus brings Joy to our world. Life might not get easier, but it can feel that way with the joy of Jesus.

If you haven't attended a service at Redemption before, we would love nothing more than to see you on Christmas Eve (Eve). We want to make your first visit is simple and comfortable as possible.

People usually want answers to these questions:

When and where are your services?

We normally hold our services at Trinity Lutheran Church in Kirkwood on Sundays at 9AM

BUT our Christmas Eve (Eve) service starts at 6PM with pre-service treats at 5:30PM.

We do not have service on the Sunday after Christmas, 12/29/24

How long is a Redemption service?

In total, a Redemption service is about 60 minutes in length. Our service begins with our band leading the church in music. We'll project song lyrics on the screens so you can sing along, but feel free to engage however you feel most comfortable. After the music is complete (usually 2-3 songs), our speaker will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message. At the end of the message, we'll participate in communion. If you're not sure what that's all about, no worries. We'll explain everything and there is never any pressure to participate in communion.

What should I wear? What's the vibe?

The vibe at Redemption, in 3 words, is exciting, comfortable, and welcoming. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest. You can wear a suit if you'd like, but we probably won't.

Our lead pastor is usually in jeans and a casual shirt.

We are a pro-celebration church. If you're looking for a more solemn, candlelit experience for Christmas, you are out of luck with us. If you're looking for a joyful, hope-filled, raise-the-roof party, you found your people.

What about my kids?

We normally host an awesome, engaging, fun experience for your kids during our service called Redemption Kids. For our Christmas Eve (Eve) service though, we're going to enjoy the service together as a church family. That means we'll probably have a fair share of fidgeting, moving around, and whispering. We're okay with that. Everybody is welcome.

Where do I park?

When you pull up to Trinity, you'll be greeted by our smiling parking crew who will direct you exactly where to go. From there, head to the clearly marked front doors and we'll get you where you need to be.
