Redeemer is a church centered on the gospel, located in Bellevue, Washington,
focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ, filled with the Spirit, to the glory of God the Father.
What To Expect at Redeemer
We are thankful you are considering attending Redeemer. Our services are generally 90 to 100 minutes long and include worship through corporate singing, prayer, hearing God’s Word through Biblical teaching, and celebrating communion.
Redeemer is located at the crossroads of I-405 and I-90 at 15005 SE 38th St.
We have two services starting at 9 and 11 am. Below, you will find answers to common visitor questions.
What is a service like?
At Redeemer, our service liturgy follows the gospel narrative. Therefore, the elements of our worship progress through Creation, Fall, Redemption, and New Creation. The goal of our liturgy is to sing the Word with conviction and confidence as we remember the gospel throughout the service and, therefore, be formed as gospel people.
We gather in a way that reflects both the gospel and the culture of the Pacific Northwest — unpretentious, relational, and rooted in grace. Most people dress casually in jeans, flannels, or whatever feels comfortable.
The service begins with a scriptural call to worship. Following this, we sing a couple of songs before the pastoral prayer. After this prayer, we have a time of passing the peace in which we greet one another. At this time, the kids are dismissed from the kids’ ministry. There will be a short time for announcements, followed by the prayer of illumination and then the Scripture reading. Then, we hear the Word preached and communion celebrated.
At Redeemer, we believe communion is for anyone who has put their trust and faith in Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. Most parents pick their children up from kids’ ministry before or just after communion. Our service closes with three worship songs and a benediction.
What is the preaching like?
We are committed to the expositional and exegetical preaching of God’s Word, faithfully carried out by those called and qualified by God.
- Expositional preaching focuses on proclaiming the full counsel of God by working through the books of the Bible. From time to time, we have sermons that are topical, but those, too, will be expositional in nature.
- Exegetical preaching emphasizes deriving the meaning of the text from the text itself, submitting to the Spirit’s intent as revealed in the Word.
We also affirm that the Spirit calls and equips certain men to shepherd the church as elders, and among these, some are specially gifted for the ministry of preaching. At Redeemer, you will primarily hear Pastor Gabe Davis proclaim God’s Word and other elders occasionally share the pulpit.

What is the worship style?
Our musical worship can vary from week to week. You can expect to see a guitar, a piano, a violin, drums, and other instruments throughout the month. Our focus is the corporate worship of God by his gathered people as laid out in Colossians 3:16:
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”

What do I do with my kids?
We provide classes for children from 6 months old through 5th grade. Our Redeemer Kids volunteer will help you check your children into their classrooms, where they will learn a Bible lesson and enjoy a craft. Fill out the form linked below to help make your child’s check-in go smoothly.
Kids of all ages are always welcome to stay with you in the service. If your kids are professing believers in Jesus and you want to retrieve them for Communion near the end of the service, you can do that right after the sermon is over.
Students in grades 6-12 are invited to our Student Ministry gatherings, held on Thursday nights at 6:30 pm at the church.
