Assessment

Redeemer Lutheran Church is a confessional LCMS congregation in Fredericksburg, established in 1978. The LCMS is one of the most theologically conservative mainline Lutheran bodies — they affirm inerrancy, male-only ordination, and traditional marriage. Rev. David Miner leads this Bible-believing community that also operates a Christian preschool. Solid option for those seeking liturgical, confessional worship.
