Although how we are gathering is different our mission and vision remain. Whether we meet in person or online–we come together to remember and celebrate who God is, what He has done, and what He has promised.
Join us Sundays as we find our place in God’s story! We meet via Livestream Sunday mornings at 10am online on our Youtube page.
To help your whole family participate on Sundays here is a resource guide for kids: LINK
As the church we are called to love our neighbors and serve our city. Fill out the form below if you have any needs or prayer requests you’d like help with. Also, fill out the form if you are able and willing to serve others.
In this season we need to develop creative and innovative ways to truly care for one another and be in community. This new “Triad of Care” structure (originally developed by our good friends at Roosevelt Community Church in PHX), we believe, will help us connect and serve at Redemption Tucson. We believe in the priesthood of all believers and that we are all called to share the load of ministry. We all need to be known and needed, and this new structure allows us to do this in exciting ways.
Essentially Triads of Care are 3 family units committing to caring, serving, and pursuing one another. We are very excited to draw closer together as a community and to have the ability in these micro-groups to invite others in and be good news to the needy, lonely, and marginalized.
Questions and details:
What makes a Triad? Three household units. A household unit can be 1 single adult, or a married couple, or a family with children. So a triad of care can be 3 single adults, 3 married couples, or 3 families with children–or any combination of these!
What are the expectations of the Triad? 1. Have at least 1 weekly touchpoint for prayer and connection (this can be in person or online). 2. Make your needs known to one another and care for one another. 3. Welcome others from outside our community into the Triad if opportunities arise.
What if there is a need we cannot meet as a Triad? Simply fill out the care form HERE and the church will fill in gaps as we are able.
Who is in my triad? Two layers:
i. If you are in a Redemption Community (RC) your RC leader will be leading your group through how this will look. The most natural place for these triads of care to take place is within existing RC’s, essentially creating smaller communities of care within your RC.
ii. If you are not in a Redemption Community simply fill out the form below and leaders will reach out with next steps.
Can our Redemption Community still meet as a large group online? Yes, in fact please do!
What if I don’t know the people well in my Triad or I would rather make my own Triad? Church leadership will do their best to create healthy triads (based on geography, pre-existing relationships like RC’s, information on the form, and maturity), but the vision is not that these are your closest friends or deepest community–but it is how you can receive care and be part of community through your local church.
In hard seasons like the one we are in, it reveals just how much we need to rely on the strength the Lord supplies, seek Him earnestly, and not lean on our own understanding. The reality is we need God. Jesus says apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15)–this includes our situations and circumstances today.
One way we can do this is to turn to God in prayer. Every Wednesday night we will have an online prayer night: 8-9pm on Zoom. We encourage you to do this as a family or in smaller groups alongside the rest of our church family. This will be a simple hour to seek the Lord, ask for His help, lift up others, and remember what is true.
Church let us echo 2 Chronicles 20:12, “For we are powerless against this [enemy] that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” God bless and we hope to pray with you soon.
Also, in this season we have stepped up to serve in new ways that directly contribute to the good of Tucson with Caring Ministries and Corazón Ministries. Through our partnership with Corazón Ministries we have found an opportunity to serve in a very practical and needed way. Many churches connected with Corazón have families who are sick, out of work, and/or are in need of food. So we are partnering with Corazón and Caring Ministries, and now have a great system to consistently provide food for people who have needs.
We need a team of nine people to help assemble food boxes every week on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 8am-10:30am, at the Caring Ministries facility. The primary action point is to sign up for a shift on the Care Calendar (below).
Learn more about the partnership we have with Caring Ministries by watching this video HERE and sign up to serve below!
