Governance at Redeemer

Redeemer Lutheran Church and School is governed through a Policy-Based Governance model adopted by our Voters' Assembly. This page is the permanent home for the documents that define how our congregation is structured, who holds which responsibilities, and how we plan and carry out our ministry. Together, they help Redeemer operate in good order, steward the resources God has entrusted to us, and remain faithful to our calling to make disciples in Stuart and beyond.

Constitution – Our foundational document. It sets out Redeemer's purpose, confession of faith, LCMS affiliation, and membership. It also establishes the basic governance structure: the Voters' Assembly as the ultimate authority, the Council as trustee that governs by policy, and the Senior Pastor, his executive team, and staff are responsible for all operations.

Bylaws – The procedures that put the Constitution into practice. They cover membership and discipline, Voters' Assembly meetings, Council elections and officer duties, and the process for calling pastors and called workers.

Ministry Plan – The annual plan for how Redeemer's staff and ministry teams will pursue our End Goals in the coming year. Led by the Senior Pastor, it turns the Council's direction into concrete priorities for worship, discipleship, community engagement, Kingdom partnership, and stewardship across both church and school.
