Church Planting and Redevelopment
Church Planting and Redevelopment engages leaders who are either visioning a new faith community from scratch, or re-imagining ways of “being church” with their existing community. We are especially committed to supporting communities that have historically been underrepresented in The Episcopal Church, and parishes that are committed to knowing, loving, and learning from their neighbors.
We provide leadership discernment, training, coaching and co-learning opportunities for point leaders and teams who feel called to undertake this brave work.
- Read our guides to the leadership gifts of successful church planters and congregational redevelopers.

Sermons That Work
For more than 20 years, Sermons That Work, a ministry of The Episcopal Church’s Office of Communication, has provided free sermons, Bible studies, bulletin inserts, and other resources that speak to congregations across the Church. Our writers and readers come from numerous and varied backgrounds, and the resources we provide are used in small house churches, sprawling cathedrals, and everything between.
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 6210 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.
