Assessment

Redeemer Church Longmont is a 2021 PCA church plant in the Rocky Mountain Presbytery, planted by Justin Chappell who serves as Pastor of Vision & Strategy alongside Paul Ranheim (Formation & Creativity) and Ryan Sutherland (Vocation & Curiosity). Chappell signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest. PCA confessional posture intact; the unconventional pastoral title structure ('vocation & curiosity') signals a culturally engaged urban-plant ethos common to soft-progressive PCA plants.
