What we're actually like
We take God seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously. That combination matters to us — we believe the gospel is the best news in the world, and we'd rather laugh with you over a meal than impress you with a program.
We support our college students and want to see you thrive, in faith and in life. That's part of why we're doing this: not to launch another club, but because we genuinely want to know you, root for you, and walk with you through what's probably a disorienting first year.
We're not a finished product. We're a group of ordinary people trying to follow Jesus honestly, and we'd love for you to come do that with us — not as a spectator, but as someone whose presence actually changes the room.
Come see for yourself
No pressure, no pitch. Just come meet some people and see what it's like.
Sunday services
Redeemer Church holds three services every Sunday at 211 Northshore Dr, Bellingham: 8:30 | 10:00 | 11:30 am.
Services run about 75 minutes — worship, prayer, a message that points to Jesus, and communion every week.
Need a ride to church?
We'll connect you with a ride to the 10 am service — just let us know by clicking the “Let’s Connect” button above, and someone will reach out.
What following Jesus actually looks like here
Most people at Redeemer find their people through a Gospel Community — a group of 15-30 people scattered around Whatcom County who share meals, pray for each other, and just do ordinary life together. Not a Bible study you attend, more like a family you belong to.
For students, we want to go a step further. We run something called Finkenwalde — a hands-on training ground in the basics of the faith, named after the underground seminary Dietrich Bonhoeffer ran in Nazi Germany, because the same conviction still holds: following Jesus well takes real formation, not just good intentions. Our goal is for a group of you to go through that training together and eventually start a Gospel Community of your own, right here on campus
That's a bigger ask than "come hang out on Wednesdays." It's also, we think, a lot more worth your time.
Got questions?
Reach out to one of our pastors, Dane Burgess; he would love to connect with you.
