We want our website to be more than just information. We are not interested in a website full of static 'stuff!' We want to create a place packed with dynamic and interesting content - a site you might want to revisit regularly.
We want our website to be an extension of our vision and values - a place of community, conversation, creativity and interaction. The Collective is the place for that. It's here that you will find contributions from many different people, including those who are part of the Redeemer Community and, from time to time, some special guests. You will find things that made us think, laugh, cry, hope, and be challenged. It's a section that will keep on growing - so just keep on scrolling and watch more articles load.
We would love you to interact with us through the site - so make sure to leave your comments!

The Shaw Street Redemption
Well, what can I tell you about Shaw Street? We moved here nearly two years ago while I was heavily pregnant with my son, Teddy. It’s just a regular terraced street in East Belfast with its own wee unspoken rules such as cars on the left can park mounted on the pavement but cars on the right park on the road. We were never told this rule but it seemed like this was how it was done, so we just followed suit. Another unspoken rule seemed to be that (apart from Shanti and Garth who invited us into their home for a yummy meal) no-one spoke to you, you kept your head down and didn’t make eye contact and that suited everyone just fine. Again, we were never told this but it seemed like this was how it was done, so we just followed suit… for a while.

Accosted by Christians
So, this is a narrative, kind of, about something that actually happened to me, but I couldn’t just tell it. I think I might turn this into a short play, but I secretly hate having things be about me. I feel like it’s self centered...anyway, here goes... Upon entering a street in central Belfast I see 2 men with a small table with what appears to be books on it. My first thought is are they JW’s?, second thought are they Mormon’s?, third thought are they Christians? I had seen their counterparts before, 2 women, long skirts, same table, same books. I kept walking. I had things to do. My thoughts got the better of me...

Redeemer online: get connected
The world is now a very connected place and much of that is due to a small phenomenon that snotty nosed geeks refer to as the ‘interwebs’ or what Peter Kay calls “t’internet’’- you may have heard of it. The Internet which launched in 1995 is starting to grow up thanks to a social networking revolution and we at Redeemer are big fans. Our desire is to be connected to as many people as we can and use these technologies to share the Gospel of Jesus.
