​The Redeemer Leadership Team

At Redeemer, we believe that God intends for the local church to be led by a plurality of qualified, servant-minded elders, and served by a plurality of capable, compassionate deacons.  ​

The Elder Team

Picture
The Elders: Dave Merrill, Dom Vincent and Ryan Peterson

The Elder Team provides pastoral leadership for the church, exercising general oversight and spiritual authority as a plurality of leaders (this means there is no one ruling elder or senior pastor here). The elders together articulate the central vision, mission, values, and goals of church. They are available for services of prayer, counseling, discipline, and spiritual guidance. 

​They are responsible for evaluating, developing, and training leaders and ministries. The elders are ceremonial officiants (weddings, funerals, baptism, family dedications) and legal officers of the church. They are ultimately responsible and accountable for the health of the church.

The Deacon Team

The Deacons:  Christy Peterson, Sadie Tupaj, Spenser Wagner, Stacie Poston, Daniel Imes, Ben Flemming, and Amy Merrill

The Deacons provide the church with servant leadership, focused upon practical service to those in need, physical caretaking and stewardship of the church, and oversight of particular areas. The deacons oversee collection and distribution of funds to those in need through the deacon's fund (a special collection made once a month during our Sunday Morning Worship). They help and encourage the poor, jobless, sick, widowed or grieving, elderly, disabled, or otherwise needy as the representatives of Christ.

They are available for giving wise counsel to those in need of practical advice and providing examples of deep faith for those in crisis (turning to and trusting in God’s provision, hopeful in despair, etc.). The deacons lead out in taking care of the practical, physical needs of the gathered church (e.g. preparing for worship services, organizing group meals, and looking for needs at group activities).
