Redeemer Classical School is an outpost of light and truth in an increasingly dark and hostile world. You don’t have to follow the news very long to notice that our children are growing up in a world increasingly opposed to Christ and his Church. A world that rejects basic notions of truth and decency written on the hearts of all mankind. Public librarians are insisting on the goodness of cross-dressing men reading stories to little children, Christians are being targeted by the FBI for their beliefs, and children are being groomed to think they are the opposite sex by their teachers and ..read more

From Pastor Petersen: Pastor Frese’s New Position with Synod, Release from Redeemer Pastor Frese has served Redeemer as a called, part-time pastor since 2012.

From Pastor Petersen: Starting on Wednesday, May 25 and lasting until August 31, funded by the Lily Endowment fund and with no financial cost to the congregation, I will be taking a Sabbatical. I am not retiring. It is a long break, but not that long. It is shorter than the school’s summer vacation. In many ways, it is a kind of big vacation; but it is distinct in that it is not only longer than a vacation, but in that it is purposeful and is funded. The idea is that I will step away from the daily grind and pressure of pastoral work to rest, travel, recreate, and work on healthy coping strate ..read more
