OUTREACH & MISSIONS
What does Outreach and Mission look like at DR? Outreach activities are the practices of our church that spread God's Word and share His love with the community and the world at large. Missions involve helping others in Christian love whether the mission field is abroad or in our backyard. Both include sharing the Gospel, that is, the Good News of Jesus! Divine Redeemer is excited that Pastor Christopher Surges became the Pastor of Mission and Outreach starting in August of 2024 to help us further our impact in our backyard, missions in the country and missions worldwide!

PRAY AND GO OUTREACH MINISTRY
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 20: 19-20
Why Pray & Go?
We LOVE our community, so we are PRAYING for our community!
Divine Redeemer is a church that is rooted in our community and in prayer. Pray & Go is designed to help motivate God’s people to PRAY and then GO out into our community!
Our Goal = Every Household in our Community
By praying over our community we hope to achieve three main goals:
​
-
Have every household in our community brought before our Almighty God in prayer. Who knows what God will do with those prayers?!
-
Provide opportunities for people to hear about Christ as we send teams out to pray over homes in our community
-
Continue to grow the environment at Divine Redeemer as a congregation that is a praying and going church!

SAFE FAMILIES MINISTRY
Divine Redeemer is a “Safe Families” Congregation! This is an exciting opportunity for each one of us as we seek to follow Christ’s example of caring for others and especially for children! Jesus says, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14). Being a “Safe Families” congregation connects us as followers of Christ with families who would greatly benefit from extra care and support from other families!
​
What is “Safe Families?”
Safe Families for Children is a movement fueled by compassion and faith to keep children safe and families intact. Safe Families temporarily hosts children and provides a network of support while parents get back on their feet. Some ways to get involved:
​
-
Host Family
-
Family Friend (babysit, provide transportation)
-
Provide resources (donate money, cribs, clothing, etc.)
