Redeemer’s mission is to make Jesus’ invisible kingdom visible in Winter Haven and the world. One of the ways that we can play a part in God’s redeeming of Winter Haven is through serving our community and supporting those who serve around the world. Below are our missional partners and a brief description about their work. If you're interested in volunteer opportunities, please contact Brad Scholten.

Global Mission Partners
Tucker & Ann S | Hounslow, London, U.K.
While dreaming and planning their next step in life, Tucker and Ann came across Serge and began to fall in love with the mission and vision of the organization. Specifically, they were drawn to the gospel community Serge is attempting to foster in Hounslow, London, a borough near Heathrow home to a large population of South Asian immigrants. Tucker and Ann are very excited to be a part of the Lord’s redeeming work within this community.
