Families with Young Children
This group is open to any family with children 0-16 years old.

We alternate activities between adults only and whole family events. Contact Dawn Ealy or Dawn Saterfield.

TNT (Twenties and Thirties)
This group is for anyone in this age group, single or married. TNT usually meets once a month for a time of Bible study and then has a social event. We would love to have you join us! For more information, contact the church office (338-5626).

Men of Integrity
This men's Bible study group meets the first and third Saturday of each month. We gather at the East Side Hy-Vee on 1st Avenue. We begin with breakfast at 7:00 am and have a Bible study from 7:45-8:30 am.

Sports Ministries
This is another opportunity for Christian fellowship at Our Redeemer. We frequently participate in both church and city leagues in the following sports: co-ed volleyball, men's basketball, and co-ed softball.

OWLS (Older, Wiser Lutherans)
This group is for those of us who are over 40 and don't fit into any other "category". We meet whenever anyone comes up with activity. It is strictly a group gathering for fun and fellowship: a very, very informal group. Contact the church office for more information (338-5626).

Caresciples
Caresciples are small Bible study, fellowship and prayer groups that meet in homes or the church depending on what works best for the members of the group. Each group chooses their own materials to study and sets their own time for meeting; some may be monthly, some more often. Contact the church office for more information (338-5626).
