Redeemer Church Mauritius
Jumping to Action - Phil Kendon
One of the things to consider when you join a church is the vision and values of the community. Redeemer Church has a vision to “Make disciples one life at a time”. This vision is based on the great commission that Jesus gave to his disciples, and it reflects the importance of every individual journey of faith. Our values define how we treat each other and what we prioritise. As a church, there are several opportunities to serve and contribute to the wellbeing of the church family and the surrounding community.
