Our vision is to see the Gospel transform everything – ourselves as individuals, our church, our city, and the world.
By 2020, we desire to see that vision expressed in our church as a body of thousands of people, gathering in locations throughout the Louisville area, and planting churches all over the world that draw many more un-churched people into a relationship with God.
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”
—Revelation 21:5
Being a worship leader at a new church is an enviable position, because it affords you a clean slate. You’re able to leave behind dysfunctional liturgical habits and expectations and create new ones based on pastoral goals. As I have worked to lay foundations and create new expectations at Redeemer Fellowship, I have received tremendous benefit from the advice and the labors of Sojourn’s worship leaders.
I can’t think of a corporate worship ministry more worth imitating than Sojourn’s, because, as with everything at Sojourn, the leadership’s main goal is to thoughtfully shepherd people in the gospel. I’m thankful for Mike Cosper’s advice, for the resources constantly added to sojournmusic.com, and for the amazing, gospel-centered songs on Sojourn’s recordings (many of which we sing in our gatherings at Redeemer).
