Our Purpose

We seek to make Christ’s Love visible through inclusivity, hospitality, and service.

Our Core Values

Church of All People
Christ Centered Living
Radical Hospitality at Work

All are welcome at Redford Aldersgate and ALL means ALL. We are a place that welcomes people of all backgrounds, races, ethnic groups, sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, physical abilities and economic situations.

Our congregation will do everything we can to be “red letter” Christians, using the words Jesus said and the stories Jesus told to inform and motivate everything we do.

We will welcome each and every person that comes through our door and will seek to integrate new people into the life of the congregation.  Each person has gifts to bring that make us more able to do whatever it takes!

Outwardly Focused
Intentional Discipleship
Prayerful Compassion

If our church closed, would anyone except our members notice?  We hope so!  We seek to be in service in our neighborhood, our community and our world.   We believe we are here to benefit our non-members.

Everyone in our church is encouraged to participate in bible study, small groups and missions in an effort learn more about their faith and inspire their own journey to living more like Jesus did.

They will know we are Christians by our love!  We will go out our way to visit the sick, pray for each other and meet the needs of our neighbors.  We believe that we are called to love the world as God loves us.

Extravagant Generosity
Honor the Past into the Future

We believe in extraordinary sharing, willing sacrifice, and joyous giving out of love for God and neighbor. 

We appreciate and honor all the people and events and traditions that shape the church that Redford Aldersgate is, while at the same time we seek to innovate and respond to the challenges people face today.

In my years of ministry I have emphasized the importance of being in a good place with God, with other people and ourselves. Good things result when we find that harmony and balance.”
