Annual Report 2024
Redeemer Family,
I want to thank the entire Redeemer family for your continued generosity in 2024! We enjoyed our first FULL year at our new home, Pond Road Middle School. We celebrated the arrival of new families to our church, continued to expand our reach at The Alliance Restoration Center,enjoyed the power of partnership with the Center City Network Churches, taken on new global mission partners in Teahouse, put on our highest attended kids camp with Living Hope in Trenton, and continued strengthening and building the discipleship process. These are just a few of many reasons we have to celebrate!
Our goal for the past year has been to really get a sense of feeling grounded in who we are as a ministry, where we meet, and how we disciple one another as a church. I truly feel we have accomplished this goal. We have worked hard to have the leadership in place that we do today. I am so thankful for each of our ministry leaders. I also want to thank the entire church family for supporting and praying for our family during our first ever sabbatical. It was incredible to have the season of rest, renewal, and fresh revelation as the church did not skip a beat in my absence! I am happy to report to you that our church continues to show the important marks of healthy church both practically and spiritually. Just one indicator of the healthy state of our church is that we just experienced the largest giving year since 2017!
Your Pastor, staff, governing board, and elders remain deeply committed to the vision God has given us as a church. We are committed to continuing to grow healthy and to grow even more confident in our commitment as a church to God’s guidance and leading. A new chapter is among us at Redeemer. With the rapid growth of the ARC, a continued focus on discipleship, feeling even more grounded in who we are locally as the church and establishing new global ministry partners, I know the best is yet to come! I can’t wait to see what God will continue to do in us and through us in 2025.
Here’s to a fruitful year of ministry together,
Pastor Kevin Namur

In 2025, we are going to focus on making sure we are grounded in the right places and continuing to become a solid foundation of a church where families can grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Our focus’ for this year are:
- Discipleship
Our discipleship leadership team has been established and is looking forward to offering the church family new and unique opportunities to grow in the faith. As our team prays and works together, we will support each of our ministry leaders in their efforts to help our entire church family grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus. - Spirit-led culture
We will intentionally create environments in our gatherings that give people the opportunity to experience the power of the Holy Spirit. Through worship nights, extended times of prayer, response times on Sundays, and a focus on developing a knowledge of the Spirit, we will grow in our faith by witnessing the Holy Spirit at work among us. - Community Engagement
This will be a year where we begin to create awareness in our community of who we are and ask how we can serve. After a year of finding our footing at our new location and community, we are ready to begin new relationships in Robbinsville and invite our neighbors into what God is doing in our midst. - Vision Advancement
We will continue to strengthen our partnerships and broaden our reach with the Center City Network churches. In this, the Alliance Restoration Center will continue to expand their programs as we will prayerfully consider taking the next steps necessary to ensure we are in the best position to make the most impact in our community and city!

As I look forward to the rest of 2025 I am full of expectation for us to experience a new chapter of our story. I truly believe we have been in a season of preparation for something really special!
This year, we are first committed to working hard to ensure that our church family is being cared for well. We will continue to prioritize the establishing and strengthening of our discipleship process to ensure that families who call our church their home are growing in their relationship with Jesus at all ages and in all seasons of life. There will be new opportunities for all of us to grow deeper in our faith beyond just the Sunday morning gathering. As a result I see our church growing in new believers, depth of faith, and in our overall commitment to using our gifts for the glory of God. We will continue to center our Sunday gatherings around sound teaching of the scriptures with more open times of prayer and ministry.
This year, we are looking to really begin to let the community of Robbinsville know that we are here and we are here to help serve in any way we can. Through the intentional building of relationships within the community of Robbinsville, we will expand our reach right here where we are so that more people can come to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
We will also continue to strengthen our relationships with our ministry partners locally and around the globe. I look forward to our partnerships with Urban Promise, Street Church Ministries, Teahouse Global, and Mission 2535 in the DR.
Through our partnership with Center City Network we will continue to dream with hearts and hands wide open about what is possible when we all come together to impact our city. The Alliance Restoration Center will accept more families onto the pantry list, more students into the ESL programs, and more children into the Soccer Academy. The movement of Alliance Churches here in our region will grow stronger in their relationships and commitment to serve the least of these alongside of one another for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
I believe God is inviting us to lean in by faith this year. Not just growing deep in our relationship with Jesus but also growing deeper in our commitment to being His hands and feet.
Eager and excited for all that is in store,
Pastor Kevin
