MEET THE Team
It’s important to be part of team (even family) that has the same purpose. Each of us knows the value of being there for one another. And there’s a place for you too. Part of our team has been here their whole lives. Others are relatively new. But no matter where we come from, we have found belonging and purpose in walking together. We’d love to share more at our upcoming launch service on March 29th.
OUR STORY
Connection
Our mission and ministry was born out of genuine relationships with neighbors and friends who care. We want to welcome you to share in a close-knit community that goes beyond Sunday mornings.
Growth
Each of us are looking for something more than what we see and know on our own. The Scriptures provide profound answers and practical guidance that transform our lives as we grow together.
Impact
We all want to make a difference. Erie certainly deserves our best. Our purpose is to serve others together to positively impact our community.
Purpose
God has not given us eternal salvation so that we would live for ourselves. We are here to serve our community with this gospel and with our lives of service.
OUR STORY
We believe and teach that no amount human effort can possibly earn God’s favor or lead to eternal life. Thankfully, God’s love caused him to send his Son Jesus Christ to live and die for us. God offers forgiveness and salvation to the whole world as free gifts. Everyone who puts their trust in Christ as their Savior will be saved.

BIBLICAL
SALVATION
“Redemption” literally means to be bought back. The good news (gospel) of the Bible teaches Jesus Christ bought us from sin, death, and evil with his perfect life, sacrificial death, and rising from the grave. This gospel is the only way to salvation. In addition, this gospel is put to work in every facet of our ministry because it is the message God uses to work faith and transform lives.

BIBLICAL
SALVATION
We believe that every word of the Bible is God’s Word. We also believe that the Bible is its own best interpreter. Rather than approaching the Bible with a predetermined idea of what it says, we let the Bible speak for itself. Even more than the specific doctrines we confess, this approach to reading the Bible and this process for understanding it define us.

BIBLICAL
SALVATION
As a Lutheran Church we hold to truths that free us from spiritual oppression, worldly reliance, and self-help. Instead God’s Word teaches that we have forgiveness, freedom from guilt, and an everlasting foundation in Christ. Our salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, and on the basis of Scripture alone.

Pastor Caleb Kurbis, his wife Sarah, and their four children are excited to call Erie home. Previous to Redemption in Erie, they served a multi-site church in Western North Carolina for 14 years. Pastor Kurbis has earned a B.A. in theology and biblical languages from Martin Luther College, New Ulm, MN, and an M.Div. from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon, WI. In addition to serving at these two different ministries as a full time pastor and missionary, he served our broader church body in a number of ways. He has presented at national and regional conferences, helped train several pastoral interns, and served on committees for outreach, youth, and discipleship. More importantly, he loves to meet people and listen to their story over a coffee or local brew.
