Redeemer City is ruled by Jesus,
led by elders, and served by deacons/ministers.

*The Bible recognizes two offices in the church: (1) pastors/elders/overseers and (2) deacons. In the New Testament, the words “pastor,” “elder,” and “overseer” are used interchangeably and refer to the same office.  The consistent pattern in the New Testament is for churches to have a plurality of pastors/elders/overseers. Deacons are servants of the church whose qualifications are listed in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. They are chosen as needed to perform tasks which free the pastors/elders/overseers to devote themselves to the ministry of the Word and prayer. While the word “minister” has been used to refer to the lead pastor/elder in parts of the United States and abroad the last few centuries, it simply means servant and is not used in the New Testament to designate that specific role. Every member is a minister and is called to “minister” to one another in their local church using the gifts they have received from God’s Spirit.
