This year at Redemption Church, we’re exploring the beauty and depth of the liturgical seasons together. During the spring, our Missional Community rhythms will fall largely within the seasons of Lent and Easter—a time we set apart to focus on practices of Being With Jesus.

Together, we’ll journey through two video series that invite us deeper into relationship with Christ and with one another:

• Francis Chan’s Jesus’s Farewell Message — guiding us through Jesus’ final words to His disciples and revealing how abiding in Him transforms every part of our lives.

• Rich Villodas’s The Deeper Formed Life — leading us to practice spiritual disciplines that root us more deeply in the presence and love of Jesus.

As we walk through this season, our hope is to grow as a community striving together to know and make known the real Jesus.

Project Refresh

Pop-Up Showers & Shared Meals
Project Refresh is hosting pop-up shower events at GAP Ministries on Tuesday evenings from 5–7 PM (volunteer hours: 4:30–7:30 PM) through November. These smaller gatherings offer a chance to serve in a meaningful, personal way. In addition to providing showers for guests, each evening includes a family-style dinner — and that’s where MCs come in. MCs are invited to volunteer and are responsible for providing and sharing a meal with those served. It’s a great opportunity to connect over dinner and offer hospitality in a tangible way. Children under 13 are not allowed to volunteer or attend these events.

Hygiene Bag Packing
Looking for a way to give back as a family? Join Project Refresh to assemble hygiene bags for our unhoused neighbors! It’s a meaningful volunteer opportunity that’s perfect for kids and adults —every item packed is a step toward dignity and care for someone in need. Come lend a hand and make a difference together!

 As a church we regularly set aside the Fall season to focus on practicing Doing the things Jesus Does together. One way we do this is by  participating with and serving our community through the annual  rhythms of the season.

We annually set aside one Sunday morning to get outside the walls of the church and serve those participating in the Augusta Half IronMan, we are serving with Project Refresh in October together, we use our storefront to serve families participating in the Downtown Trick-or-Treat, and last but not least we host The Augusta Handmade Fair to serve our city and raise money for global missions.

This year, we want to expand our practices. 

We’re also asking  that each MC commit to further practice Doing  the things that Jesus Does by choosing one way they can  serve together as a group this season.. We are providing a few opportunities with Oaks Ministries and Project Refresh, but each MC is free to choose something that fits them the best.
