Lutheran congregation (LCMS) of the south side · organized 1892 · 202 West Rudisill Boulevard · active, November 2026
Founding and state: Redeemer was organized in 1892, its parish registers running from 1893, and stood from the first among the English-language congregations of the Lutheran system — the Sentinel's 1904 roster captions it "Redeemer English Lutheran church." It worships at 202 West Rudisill Boulevard, in the Missouri Synod; the library holds its registers, 1893 to 1987, and a membership list of 1901. The congregation's founding narrative — its mother church and first pastor — is not carried in the digitized sources this gazetteer could reach, and is named as an open item; the materials for it sit in the library's holdings under its own name.
