Redeemer Lutheran Church is the daughter congregation of
Mount Olive Lutheran Church of Metairie, Louisiana. After being
organized in 2001, its first service was held on August 26 with
thirteen adults and four children. It was originally named "Mount Olive
Lutheran Church Northshore." The Rev. Louis E. Nelsen, Jr. agreed to
come out of retirement to serve as pastor to this small flock. As the congregation grew, its members voted to rename the church "Redeemer Lutheran Church." On December 5, 2004, the Rev. Kurtis Schultz, President of the Southern District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS), joyfully received Redeemer Lutheran Church into membership as a duly constituted congregation of the LCMS. In February 2005, the Rev. Barrett Buchmueller was called to be the first full-time minister of the congregation. In October 2008, Rev. Buchmueller accepted a call to Trinity Lutheran Church in Freistatt, Missouri. In March 2009, the Rev. Aaron Stinnett was called to be the new shepherd at Redeemer, and he was installed on May 31. "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain." (Psalm 127:1) |  Redeemer Lutheran Church (LCMS), Mandeville, Louisiana |
