      <image:title>Our History - Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church was officially organized on March 24, 1935.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first service was held in the basement of the Bethel Baptist Church, from there they were moved to the old American Legion Hall located at East Powell and Elliott and then were held at the "undenominational temple."</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our History</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1952 Rev. Schoen received and accepted a call to Argonia, Kansas. A few short months after Rev. Schoen preached his last sermon at Redeemer and bid farewell to the congregation, the congregation welcomed Rev. Fredrick Behrmann. Prior to serving as Redeemer's pastor, Rev. Behrmann had served at Faith Lutheran Church, in Seaside, Oregon. In 1953 the congregation undertook to borrow $50,000.00 from the General Church Extension Fund to enable needed renovations, and to complete the church building. The loan was approved and the completed building was dedicated on November 29, 1953.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our History</image:title>
      <image:caption>From 1960 to 1985 many changes would occur at Redeemer. Redeemer would purchase two additional lots for Sunday School expansion and parking. From 1961 to 1966, Redeemer would be led by Rev. Louis Rush. In 1966, Rev. Roland Kauth would be called to lead Redeemer for 5 years. In 1971, Rev. William Woolen was called to Redeemer and three years later Redeemer would again put out a call. The call would be answered by Rev. Stephen Skov who would serve Redeemer from 1974 to 1978. During these 25 years membership at Redeemer would continue to grow.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our History</image:title>
      <image:caption>In May 1980, the present church was dedicated by Rev. Hilgendorf and in 1988 a new organ was also dedicated by Rev. Hilgendorf. In 1991, Rev. Hilgendorf retired and Redeemer welcomed Rev. Patrick Curley. Rev. Curley served Redeemer for 5 years. In 1996, Redeemer then welcomed our present pastor, Rev. Eric Lange.</image:caption>
