Our Executive Team has announced their unanimous decision for Redeemer's direction. See their resolution below.
Easter Greetings in Christ!
The following is the Resolution of the Executive Team of Redeemer Anglican Church:
We, the Executive Team, were authorized to consider and determine the future direction of Redeemer Anglican Church. We are now reporting this decision.
We are exceedingly grateful to God for the role of St. Stephen’s Church – its clergy, vestry and congregation – which founded our congregation five years ago and has supported us up to this point in time. We hope to continue to have a special relation with St. Stephen’s in the future, including some of the creative ideas about building missional fellowships.
We are thankful for the sacrificial ministry of the Rev. Seth Zimmerman (and also of the Rev. Paul Hassell), who helped Redeemer get off the ground. We wish Seth all the best, as he and Laura leave us and take up a new ministry at St. Stephen’s.
When Seth announced his departure earlier this year, we decided to set aside Lent as a period of discernment for the congregation as to our future direction. We surveyed the congregation and held informational meetings and prayer services leading up to our decision.
On April 7, 2021, the Executive Team met and voted unanimously that Redeemer should become an independent church, seeking to become a Mission Fellowship of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. We are requesting the diocese to accept this decision as we work out specific legal and financial arrangements with St. Stephen’s Church.
We know that this decision involves a step of faith, but we do so boldly and united by the Spirit.

Redeemer is a church in the Anglican tradition located in the North Boroughs of Pittsburgh
We as a church have always been more than what we do on Sunday; we aspire to overflow with the redeeming love of Christ where we live, work, and play. Especially now, during the uncertain times of a pandemic, we would like to welcome you into our church family!
