where/when do we meet?

Welcome! Redeemer City Church is a developing new community in Charlotte, NC intentionally sharing our common lives together centered on an uncommon truth: the Gospel.

Unlike a traditional understanding of church, we don’t primarily emphasize “church” in terms of time and place (although, to be sure, there is a time and a place!). Rather, we understand our identity as sharing a common vision of life and love together amidst radical grace of the Gospel. An excerpt from a book titled Total Church well captures what we envision:

Being both gospel-centred and community-centred might mean:

• seeing church as an identity instead of a responsibility to be juggled alongside other commitments
• celebrating ordinary life as the context in which the word of God is proclaimed with ‘God-talk’ a normal feature of everyday conversation
• running fewer evangelistic events, youth clubs and social projects, and spending more time sharing our lives with unbelievers
• starting new congregations instead of growing existing ones
• preparing Bible talks with other people instead of just studying alone at a desk
• adopting a 24-7 approach to mission and pastoral care instead of starting ministry programmes
• switching the emphasis from Bible teaching to Bible learning and action
• spending more time with people on the margins of society
• learning to disciple one another – and be discipled – day by day
• having churches that are messy instead of churches that pretend.

Sound compelling? Feel free to attend our weekly Sunday meetings, or contact Michael (the lead pastor) to check out more about our vision. We currently meet in one another’s homes while we prepare to meet in the Plaza-Midwood neighborhood.
