Entering a relationship with God by grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ involves two covenants. First, we commit to abide with Jesus for the rest of our lives and love Him. Second, we partner with His fellow children in the local church community. Through faith, we unite with Jesus and the worldwide church (all truly converted Christians in the world).

At the heart of Redeemer Church, we passionately champion the faith journey of all our members, be they single or part of a family. Every image bearer brings unique value and gifts to local bodies of Christ, and we cherish the spiritual commitments each person makes. However, for families, we emphasize the importance of collective decision-making strongly.

We ask family units to partner with us in unity. Covenant Partnership (see Philippians 1:5) isn't merely an individual expression of faith but rather a powerful biblical step taken by the whole family. This mirrors our conviction that decisions of faith made collectively - by husbands and wives, parents and children - forge a vibrant and resilient household of faith, helping us all grow and mature in our love for Jesus together.

At Redeemer Church, we don't simply add members; we knit together a community of believers. We welcome individuals as well as entire families into our covenant partnership, reflecting our commitment to being a gospel-centered, disciple-making family. With open hearts, we invite you to join us, standing together in unity and faith.

Partnership in a church is a formal acknowledgment of this, and the Redeemer Partnership Covenant serves the following purposes:

1) To join the Spirit in establishing an authentic, Jesus-loving community living out the great commission together.

2) To faithfully commit to the mission of God within a local church.

3) To promote devotion, faithfulness, accountability, and loving unity to Christ among the Redeemer church family.

4) To fulfill God's call for Redeemer Church to be a Gospel-Centered Disciple Making Family.

This covenant does not imply that you will never fall short. Instead, it signifies that your heart desires to fulfill our calling to the best of your abilities. We hope this covenant will be a personal gift to your Christian journey and a blessing to the people around you.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, the church leadership covenants the following:

1) We covenant to provide loving care for you and seek your growth in Christ (Hebrews 13:17; I Thessalonians 5:12).

2) We covenant to provide teaching and counsel from the Scriptures (Galatians 6:6; I Timothy 5:17–18).

3) We covenant that this teaching will span the whole counsel of God's Word (Acts 20:27–28).

4) We covenant to help you in times of need (Acts 2:42–47, 4:32–35; James 2:14–17).

5) We covenant that the Redeemer elders/ministers and deacons will meet the criteria assigned to them in the Scriptures (I Timothy 3:1–13; 5:17–22; Titus 1:5–9; I Peter 5:1–4).

6) We covenant to pray for you regularly, particularly when you are sick (James 5:14).

7) We covenant to guard against false teachers (Acts 20:28–31).

8) We covenant to exercise church discipline/bold instruction when necessary (Matthew 18:15–20; I Corinthians 5; Galatians 6:1).

9) We covenant to help you become equipped to serve Christ (Ephesians 4:11–13).

10) We covenant to seek God's will for our church community to the best of our ability as we study the Scriptures and follow the Spirit (Acts 20:28; I Peter 5:1–5).

11) We covenant to set an example and join you in fulfilling the duties of faithful covenant partners in the church (I Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:17; I Timothy 4:12).

12) We covenant to be good stewards and managers of the resources of this church (Acts 11:29-30; II Thessalonians 3:10-12).

With the guiding help of the Holy Spirit, I and my household (if applicable) publicly proclaim the following:

1) I am a Christian who has been saved from my sins by the grace of Jesus Christ through faith. I have accepted His gift of salvation, bought by His death on the cross, as He endured the punishment for my sins and His resurrection through which I am gifted eternal life (John 3:16–18; Romans 3:23–26). In obedience to Scripture, I have been baptized.

2) As an individual (and family unit, if applicable), I will seek to maintain a close relationship with the Lord Jesus. This will be accomplished by studying the Scripture, prayer, other habits of grace, and family worship (Psalm 119:97, Ephesians 6:4). As I walk with the Lord, I will strive to grow in holiness and reflect Christ-likeness in all areas of my life, my character, and my actions.

3) I will faithfully commit myself to Redeemer corporate gatherings and a Gospel Community (Psalm 105:1–2; Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:23–25, Ephesians 5:19-21).

4) I will give resources cheerfully, voluntarily, and sacrificially to Redeemer as we seek to expand the kingdom of God together (2 Corinthians 8–9, James 2:14-17).

5) I will share my life and faith with those around me and participate in God's missional purposes (Matthew 9:37-38, Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 10:11-15, Philemon 6).

6) I will volunteer my time to help Redeemer live out the vision as a Gospel-Centered, Disciple-Making, Family (Ephesians 5:21, Mark 10:45, Philippians 2:5-7).

7) I will follow the biblical procedures of church discipline (bold biblical instruction) regarding my brothers and sisters in Christ and submit myself to church discipline if the need should ever arise (Matthew 18:15–17; 1 Corinthians 5:1–5; 2 Corinthians 2:5–8).

8) I have read the Redeemer's belief summary, and I understand that Redeemer’s doctrinal statement will be taught to Redeemer Church (Galatians 1 & 2 Timothy 4:1-3).

9) I commit not to be divisive on any theological statements taught by the elders or other secondary issues but to seek unity in the body purposefully (Titus 3:10, Romans 16:17-18, 1 Timothy 6:3-5, & Ephesians 4:3).

10) I understand the importance of showing honor to church leadership, and I will be diligent in preserving unity and peace and preventing gossip and relational discord (1 Timothy 5:17; Ephesians 4:1–3; Hebrews 13:7, 17).
