Volunteer Information

Thank you for your interest in helping serve the families of Redeemer! We seek to provide the best care for our children through a solid team of volunteers. Here are some words from a few of our volunteers:

"The Children's ministry has been a great way to serve the Redeemer community. Whatever your commitment level, it's a fun and extremely valuable way of building into the lives of the children at Redeemer. And it's also a great way to get more involved in the Redeemer body as a whole. I highly recommend it!" – John Kim, East Side volunteer

"From the moment I walk in the door and see the kids playing, smiling and laughing with such innocence and not a care in the world, my own heart is lifted of its burden of having to be an adult. I am reminded that there's more to life than work and checking things off the to-do list – there is joy as exemplified by these kids; their joy becomes my joy. It has been a true privilege to be a part of these kids' lives. Plus, I love being called "Mr. Neal" – that is the cutest thing in the world." – Neal Winterhof, West Side volunteer
