2025 Giving Update

Dear Members and Friends,  

Looking back on our 2025 ministry year, there's a lot to be thankful for. Under the leadership of Assistant Pastor Pablo Chavarria and his wife, Velia, we launched our very first Spanish-speaking worship service on August 31. In our newly renovated fellowship hall, over 100 guests joyfully experienced the beauty of liturgy, music, and preaching “en Español.” We rejoiced together in Christ, experiencing a small taste of the joy promised when earth and heaven will be one.   

We continue to pray that God will lead 50 unbelieving people to know Jesus Christ through our church's ministry. Attendance at our worship services and Christian Education programs is increasing. We have upheld our commitment to supporting missions in San Antonio and around the world, including sending teams to assist our partners in L’viv, Ukraine, and Reynosa, Mexico. We thank God for blessing your dedication to these works, including your prayers, generous financial giving, and the many ways you show warmth and hospitality to our guests. Praise be to God and thank you!   

God faithfully restores all things to Himself through Jesus Christ. He has shown His faithfulness over the past 22 years of Gospel ministry in San Antonio. May these blessings remind us that our work is ongoing and that our collective efforts will bring glory to God. As the Apostle Paul writes to the church in Colossae:   

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. – Colossians 3:17

God is working through the people of our church—its leaders, staff, and congregation. You play a crucial part in this story of grace. Your generosity, sacrificial service, and joyful involvement are essential to Redeemer’s growth.   

As we approach the end of the year, let us praise God for His provision of Redeemer’s financial strength. We have already received $2,550,792 in tithes and offerings, which is ahead of last year’s giving. As expected at this time of year, a gap remains to be filled so that Redeemer can meet our annual budget. The Session anticipates needing just over $1,100,000 in additional tithes and offerings before December 31.   

Your generosity has helped our church meet or surpass our budget goals for many years, and we hope to do the same this year. Reaching our goal creates meaningful ministry opportunities, enabling Redeemer to give more to our ministry and mission partners and address our operational and strategic priorities both locally and globally.   

The Session invites you to prayerfully and sacrificially consider your year-end giving to help ensure that Redeemer meets or exceeds all of our ministry priorities. You can make your gifts today through the Redeemer SA mobile app, at www.redeemersa.org/Give, or by mailing a check to the church office at 903 North Saint Mary’s St., San Antonio, TX 78215.   

Again, thank you for your faithful participation. Our future has never been more exciting!  

For Christ our Redeemer,  

The Session of Redeemer Presbyterian Church
