60+ YEARS OF
COMMUNITY BUILDING
A JOYFUL, FELLOWSHIP-LOVING COMMUNITY.
You are beloved. This is the core message of Christianity - and it is the core message of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. Located at the heart of Midlothian’s Salisbury neighborhood, our church’s mission is to be a sacred community centered on the love of Christ.
Our church is intergenerational, inclusive, and fun - with respected elders, growing families, single folks, LGBTQ folks, empty nesters, and little children all coming together in the love of Christ. For over 60 years, we have learned what it is to persevere through adversity and we understand the value of breaking bread together, something we do at coffee hours and Parish suppers whenever we can. From the Communion table to the choir loft, from Sunday School to Children’s Chapel, and through the myriad other ways we experience God together, we open this resilient congregation to anyone who seeks community in our beautiful, broken world.
