Welcome to the Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church web site

1948 The Alameda      San Jose, CA 95126      (408) 296-4040

     Come worship with us. You are welcome! We are an openly progressive Christian community, welcoming everyone to follow the Lord's Way.

     It won't take you long to discover this is truly a unique community, rich in the relationships that matter most. Growing together, we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn and we reach out to our world with life-transforming truth. We reach out to you, as well. Our doors are open. Our hearts are open, too. If you have been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, we welcome you!


We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.

     The Reconciling in Christ program of the Lutherans Concerned / North America organization recognizes Lutheran congregations that welcome lesbian and gay believers. Lutherans Concerned / North America works for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Lutherans in all aspects of the life of their Church and congregations. LC/NA reaches out and teaches that Christ's message, the Gospel, is for everyone equally.
