ELDERS

Redeemer is led by a body of elders who serve as shepherds in the life of our church. Our elders work together to lead, feed, and care for those who call Redeemer home.

You can get to know some of our leaders a little better by listening to our “Meet Our Leaders” series of episodes from our “Redeeming Fate Podcast” by clicking the link on the names below. Not all of our leaders have their own podcast episode at this time.

 

Shannon has pastored Redeemer since it’s launch in 2015. He is a graduate of Dallas Seminary and has served on staff at churches of all sizes and styles for the last 18 years. He and his wife Karen were married in 2001 and moved to the DFW area in 2002. Karen is an RN with experience in both hospital and clinical settings and currently works as a school nurse in our community. God has blessed them with two amazing children: Caleb in 2007 and Sarah in 2011. Shannon is an avid football fan, enjoys time spent with family and friends, fishing, running, and trying to keep up with his kids. He can be contacted at shannon@redeemerrc.com.

“My prayer for Redeemer is that God would make us a Christ-centered & community-focused church here in the heart of Rockwall County that would make disciples of Jesus who would love and serve the people around us in the name of Jesus. I long to see God use this church to foster gospel renewal in the lives of people and in this place we call home.”
