Mission Statement

A Christian Church is a company of regenerate persons, baptized on a profession of

faith in Christ, united in covenant for worship, instruction, the observance of Christian ordinances, and for such service as the gospel requires; recognizing and accepting

Christ as their supreme Lord and Lawgiver, and taking His Word as their only

sufficient rule of faith in all matters of conscience and religion.

The Church of the Redeemer Baptist shall be a place to worship, a place devoted

to community activities and affairs, a place to embrace and enrich the total life of

man spiritually, politically, educationally, socially, morally and economically.

Building Together in Faith To build a house for God and God’s people to worship, fellowship, disciple, educate and serve.

Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God.

Go and build the sanctuary of the Lord God so that the

Ark of the Covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the Lord.

SCRIPTURE READING

Psalm 97 1 The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!

2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the

foundation of his throne.

3 Fire goes before him, and consumes his adversaries on every side.

4 His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory.

7 All worshippers of images are put to shame, those who make their boast in

worthless idols; all gods bow down before him.

8 Zion hears and is glad, and the towns of Judah rejoice, because of your

judgements, O God.

9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above

all gods.

10 The LORD loves those who hate evil; he guards the lives of his faithful; he

rescues them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN

At The Cross page 79

Stanza 1:

A-las! and did my Sav-ior bleed?

And did my Sov-'reign die?

Would He de-vote that sa-cred head

For such a worm as I?

Chorus :

At the cross, at the cross,

where I first saw the light,

And the bur-den of my heart rolled a-way -

It was there by faith I re-ceived my sight,

And now I am hap-py all the day!

Stanza 2:

Was it for crimes that I have done

He groaned up-on the tree?

A-maz-ing pit-y! grace unknown!

And love be-yond de-gree!

(Chorus)

Stanza 3:

Well might the sun in dark-ness hide

And shut his glo-ries in,

When Christ, the might-y Mak-er, died

For man the crea-ture's sin.

(Chorus)

Stanza 4:

But drops of grief can ne'er re-pay

The debt of love I owe:

Here, Lord, I give my-self a-way -

'Tis all that I can do!

(Chorus)
