Connect With Other Musicians

Our goal at Redeemer is not merely to have excellent music on Sunday. We want our musicians to understand and apply the gospel to their work throughout the week so that we can positively impact the musical community of New York City. This kind of change happens best in community with other Christian musicians. 12% of Redeemer's congregation classify themselves as artists and when you combine that with other vocations like advertising and design, a full 24% of regular attendees are vocationally involved in the arts. There are several ways for you to connect with other musicians at Redeemer and grow in your spiritual journey.

Musician Fellowship Groups

Like the other fellowship groups at Redeemer, our musician fellowship groups are small groups that meet for the purposes of studying the Bible, prayer and fellowship. Belonging to a fellowship group is the best way to become deeply engaged in the community at Redeemer. Members of musician fellowship groups are active professional musicians, aspiring-professional musicians, and conservatory students. The groups meet at times conducive to musician schedules.

Singer Songwriters Forum

Redeemer's songwriters meet monthly to encourage one another in the development of musical and lyrical craft and a Christian worldview. Evenings are open to professional and aspiring professional writers. The only requirement is to bring at least one original song in process. Occasionally songs from Songwriter workshops are used in corporate worship, recordings or other events. For more information email music@redeemer.com.

Arts Ministry

Redeemer has a thriving Arts Ministry housed under the Center for Faith & Work and musicians are encouraged to take advantage of the many programs and workshops they offer throughout the year. The Worship and Music ministry regularly collaborates with the Arts Ministry and artists of all genres to connect, fellowship and grow. The monthly InterArts Fellowship is a particularly great way to meet other artists. Visit faithandwork.org/arts to view the opportunities through the Arts Ministry.
