Each academic year at Redeemer a theme is chosen from a Bible verse or from a concept of life in service to Christ and for that year, that theme is intentionally explored, remembered and displayed by the Redeemer community. The direction of Chapel for the year will be focused on the overarching theme and will dive into what the specific Scripture or concept means for Redeemer students, faculty and staff, and how they can see it play out evidently in their lives.
The theme of the year is only one piece of what it means to follow Christ and serve His kingdom, but with each year comes the understanding and knowledge of one more piece that builds into the community at Redeemer.
