Early Church Architecture
The earliest Lutheran churches took a variety of forms, yet all display a commitment to the gathering, the centrality of Sacramental life — Holy Baptism and the Lord’s Supper — and the authority of Scripture.

About Redeemer’s Organ
The organ at Redeemer Lutheran, installed in 2013, was built by Rodgers Instruments Corporation of Hillsboro, Oregon. It is the Infinity Model 361, spanning various tonal genres that provide extraordinary musical expressiveness and versatility. A phalanx of 12 speakers (including four subwoofers) is installed in the sanctuary that work together to produce dimensional sound along the same paths that would be followed by natural pipe organ sounds. There are three manuals with a significant stop selection augmented with hundreds of additional stop library voices. It is possible to perform various periods and style of organ repertoire with accurate authenticity using this model of organ.
