On the third Sunday of each month, a group of people representing Redeemer prepares 100 sack lunches and delivers them to the Advent House Ministries Shelter in Lansing.  The shelter provides meals, resources, and encouragement to those living on the streets.

Once a year, Redeemer does a collection for new baby clothing and other new baby / toddler items, including disposable diapers and wipes. These items are donated to local pregnancy service agencies to help low income and struggling moms-to-be.

Redeemer collects school supplies for students preschool–12th grade in Clinton County, north Lansing schools, and the SafeCenter. These items are sorted and placed in new backpacks and provided to students so they can start the school year off with confidence and “ready to learn”.

#bethechurch is an Outreach Ministry through Redeemer that coordinates with local ministries to reach those in need. It is our hope that in serving others in practical ways with hands-on activities, we will be able to demonstrate Redeemer’s mission of “Connecting People with the love & life of Jesus.” All events are one-time commitments, and there is a variety of opportunities for all ages. Sign up for as many as you would like.

Each year, on the last Sunday in February, Redeemer collects a special offering for Church World Services Blanket the World with Love program. To many of us, a blanket is often  a possession that we take for granted, but when an individual’s world is turned upside down, a blanket becomes a tool of survival for warmth, comfort, and even shelter.

Redeemer helps local families with gifts and holiday meals through the Giving Tree. Names of families are provided by local human service organizations and by members of Redeemer.  A tree in the lobby is decorated with tags describing specific items for these families. Church members are asked to choose a tag, purchase, wrap, and return the requested gift by the due date.

Helping Hands Ministry meets year round the second Wednesday of every month from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the DeWitt Campus to work on a variety of sewing and craft projects for local organizations. Cutting, assembling, sewing, or other simple task – all skill levels are needed and everyone is invited to join us.

The Redeemer Food Pantry provides food and other essential items to families referred through local human services organizations.  

The Congregational Care Ministry helps to keep Redeemer members that are homebound or in nursing homes connected to the church and to the love and life of Jesus Christ, by offering caring visits and companionship. To become a Congregational Care Minister or to refer a homebound member, please contact the church office.

The GLFB Mobile Food Pantry is open to any resident in need of food. The event is held in the summer months at the DeWitt Campus and food pick up is done through a drive through service. Families are asked to stay in their vehicle while we load the food.

Every Fall, Redeemer collects items to provide Thanksgiving & Christmas food baskets to designated families in Clinton County. Names of recipients are provided through local human services organizations and by members of Redeemer.

The Sunshine Ministry helps welcome new babies to the church family. If you attend either campus at Redeemer Church and are expecting – please let us know. We would love to plan a time to drop off a “Welcome Baby” bag full of goodies to celebrate your new little one.

This annual event takes place the first Sunday in March with the goal of blessing over 1000 people. Volunteers either move from station to station or stay at one, doing various outreach projects that later go out into the community. There's something for all ages!
