Certainly. When choosing a Lutheran education at Redeemer, we request that families willingly and freely support the college's Lutheran principles, Christian education, values, and stated objectives.

In the words of the classic Lutheran summary of faith, we believe that we are saved 'by grace, for Christ's sake, through faith'. In other words, there is nothing we can do to earn God's favour or to gain eternal life. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has won all this and more for us. We also believe that only the Bible is the source of inspiration and teaching.
