President’s Report

December 2025

Greetings,

As we approach the Holiday season, we often take some time to reflect on our experiences during the past year and express our thanks for God’s blessings. 2025 has been an eventful year at Redeemer. A year of transition and one filled with new hope for our future. I want to thank our Church Council for their leadership, the Mission Exploration Team (MET) for their commitment to an arduous process and the creation of our Ministry Site Profile, and the Call Team for their rapid response and readiness to interview ministry candidates. Most of all, I thank the entire congregation for their prayers and support during this challenging year.

We convened three congregational meetings this year and garnered unanimous support at each of them. Our final meeting resulted in approval to enter a three-year agreement with Pastor Steve. I’m enthused about our future but know that there is still more work to do to build the “future Redeemer”. I look forward to continuing our work together.

Forward in Faith,

Tom Hostad
Church Council President
