We began in 1928 as a daughter congregation of Emmaus Lutheran Church, South Bend, to serve the growing community of River Park.
In 1954 the present church was built, which we worship in today.Â
In 1967 an education wing was added on to the existing church to provide additional classrooms for Sunday School and youth programs.
In 97 years, Our Redeemer has been served by only eight pastors, five for ten years or more, with Rev. Edmund Peters having served 30 years (1962-1992). Rev. Daniel Streufert served next until retirement, followed by Rev. Steven Latzke from 2004 until 2023. Presently, Our Redeemer is being served by vacancy pastor Rev. Timothy Gravelyn.Â
