Vision

Redeemer exists to ignite a movement of the gospel that changes the people of Orange County in every dimension
-- spiritually, socially, culturally --
and through Orange County, the world.

Redeemer has carefully organized the ministries of our church so that we can work together, by the power of the Spirit, to effect great change in Orange County. To call the people of the community to be stewards of their power and gifts for the honor of Christ and the benefit of urban communities, Redeemer challenges Christians of the community not only to live within our cities, but also to serve them.

Connecting the people of Orange County to Christ through:

1. Evangelistic worship. Our worship services are designed to both build up those who believe and to challenge and help those who doubt or seek.

2. Group-based ministries. The backbone of our church will be a network of small groups and ministry teams, in which face-to-face friendships and caring develop.

Building Christians into Servant-leaders through:

1. Church Family Life ministries. Believers are to relate to one another as "brothers and sisters" in Christ. Christians of all ages and family status are to provide support for each other as members of a larger, Christian family.

2. Caring ministries. Through our network of support groups, classes and seminars we aim to provide a context for spiritual growth. Our future plans include a counseling center and of course a deaconate to help people with particular needs.

3. Discipling and Leadership Development. Through classes and mentoring relationships we help new Christians mature into servant-leaders in the church.

4. Prayer ministries. Without prayer and reliance on God's grace, all of our strategies are hollow. We gather groups for prayer to seek God's face and praise him for what he has already done.

5. Coordination ministries: Sunday Service, Administration, Finance. Through these ministries, we support the overall work of the church by matching resources (people, skills, finances) with the best place for service.

Releasing servant-leaders within the city through:

1. Marketplace ministry. This involves working with excellence and Christian distinctiveness in your vocation. Like Esther in scripture, we seek to exercise cultural leadership for Christ.

2. Mercy ministry. We want to become involved in community development and social service. Like Nehemiah, we seek to reweave the physical and social fabric of the community.

3. Church expansion ministries. We want to practice evangelism, discipleship/education, and like Ezra, church renewal, and church planting both in Costa Mesa and worldwide.
