The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Shelby, NC

Redeemer, Shelby is an intentionally inclusive congregation, welcoming all people and their gifts regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, education, political views, and economic status. We practice mutual ministry - the gifts of the laity being as important and valued as that of the clergy, working together serving God's people and creation. We are a community of faith in the Episcopal tradition in the Diocese of Western North Carolina, a member of the world-wide Anglican Communion.

It's a new day at Redeemer! We are a congregation experiencing our own rebirth and renewal and invite you to come and be a part of the new thing God is doing in and through us: The Shepherd's Table (a feeding ministry serving about 500 plates of food each Wednesday), Food Pantry, Adult Formation, Parish Life, a Prayer Square/Mini Prayer Shawl ministry, and a Card ministry. All of this is in addition to our strong and continuing ministries including our choir, pastoral care and visiting the home-bound, and eating/partying joyfully together.

At Redeemer, Shelby, everyone is truly welcome. In our community of faith, there is no one who is too old or too young, no one who has too many doubts or too few beliefs. We gather to worship and be fed at an altar prepared by a loving God for all creation by the power of Jesus Christ. You, who are part of that creation, are welcome.
