Visiting a new church for the first time can be both exciting and a bit anxiety-inducing! We understand that, and we want you to feel at ease when you visit Redeemer. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions people have about a typical Sunday with us.
Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m., and our main Worship Service starts at 10:30 a.m.
We gather each Sunday morning at 16103 Lexington Boulevard in Sugar Land, Texas. Parking is readily available, and we have large signs that should get you to the right place.
Expect a Godward, Christ-exalting, Scripture-saturated, prayer infused focus. Our worship services are purposefully structured to focus attention upon the greatness and goodness of the triune God. Anticipate thoughtful prayers, substantive congregational singing and reading of Scripture, and a well-prepared sermon that carefully unpacks the meaning of a passage from the Bible and its application to our daily lives. We have a lot to sing about and will do a fair amount of it. While we have excellent musicians who skillfully lead us in worship, they are not the center of attention. We purposefully emphasize the singing of the gathered church. We love children and welcome them in our services. However, we also have a nursery available through age 4, staffed by nurturing volunteers.
We love God, we value His word, and we love one another. We enjoy spending time together in and out of church. But we know that all of that ultimately comes from our connection to Christ, and we strive to honor and obey Him.
The term Bible Church means lots of different things in different parts of the country, even in our community.
What we mean when we say that we are a “Bible Church” is that when we gather, we are focused on preaching, singing, and praying what the Bible says. We believe in the inerrancy, sufficiency, and authority of God's word.
The Scripture is the sole source of authority for all matters of life, godliness, faith, and practice, individually and corporately. We preach expository sermons, because our church’s diet needs to be the Word of God. In church governance, we follow what the Bible says, because the church belongs to Jesus and we need to follow His wisdom.
We practice historically Baptist ecclesiology, and Elder-led congregationalism.
Come as you are. Many people wear blue jeans, polos, or T-shirts; you’ll also see dresses and suits. We are more interested in your heart than your clothes.
No. You won’t be publicly put on the spot during our service in any way. You should expect to meet a bunch of our members, who are pretty friendly! Otherwise, observe, participate as you feel comfortable, and talk to the Elders or Deacons if you have questions.
We offer a nursery for children through age 4. We offer children’s, youth, and adult Sunday School classes. All children’s volunteers maintain current background checks.
While the church’s members have covenanted together to give of our time and treasure to cheerfully support the Lord’s work, we don’t ask or expect visitors to give anything. We are just glad you are here!
While the church’s members use a variety of translations for their own private use, we read from the English Standard Version in our services.
If you have other questions before you visit, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you!
