People from Church of the Redeemer continue to make a difference to those who need our help, even in these days of physical separation from each other.
In 2018, the Vestry and Church of the Redeemer requested a diocesan Global Mission Grant to provide scholarships for a nursing and midwifery program in rural Tanzania. Thanks to the generosity of the Diocese of Olympia and Redeemer’s outreach funds, two young women were studying nursing at the Kilimatinde Nurses’ and Midwives’ Training School.
When COVID-19 forced closure of the school campus and the students were sent home to continue their education remotely, these young women had no access to computers. Because of our outreach commitment to them, the Vestry voted to wire $2100 to the school for the purchase of 2 laptop computers for these women to continue their education. We received word in late June 2020 that the transfer of funds is complete, and the students can now continue their education.
Lee Darrow, Senior Warden of Church of the Redeemer, said, “I want to thank you for all that you do to support outreach in both our community and the world!”

It offers training in Nursing and Midwifery according to the National Health Training policy.

This training school is a ministry of Anglican Diocese of Rift Valley in Tanzania.
Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
