Redeemer’s parish ministry seeks to provide opportunities for us to serve one another in the context of our geographic neighborhoods, to form friendships and connections, and to minister together in our local communities. We have four parishes arranged as in the map below. For more information about each of our parish life ministries, please click on the links above corresponding to our 4 parishes. If you have a desire to serve or to know more about this ministry, please contact Rev. Dr. Ken Campbell at

. The email address for each parish coordinator is also provided under each parish's page for further information and/or to be added to their mailing list. These groups are taking a break for Christmas, but will start up again in the new year; they are open to all and provide a home-based opportunity to build community.
| In the medieval period the Parish consisted of all the people living in a certain area of a town or city. They were all generally baptized members of a single parish church. The idea of different denominations was as foreign an idea to them as space flight. In the parish all manner of practical day to day needs were met in the shadow of and under the jurisdiction of the Church. Flowing out from worship and sacraments, these included benevolence, education, apprenticeship and trades, arts, and various festivals. It reflected the covenantal (feudal) idea of society, soon to be replaced by the fractured worldview of Hobbes and other proto-enlightenment |
scholars who longed for the supremacy of the state as the agent that bound people together, leading to the rise of the nation-state and the privatization of faith. Eventually the state took over all the work of the parish and Christian faith was reduced to the merely personal and excluded from the public square. Ideas do have consequences.
For RPC to embrace a Parish vision then is not just to seek for ways to better pastor the flock of God and evangelize those not yet converted. It is also a radical statement affirming the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all of life, and the centrality of the Church to the way life is lived, personally and covenantally.
