Redeemer congregation was started as a mission project under the auspices of the
Mission Board of the Colorado District, now the Rocky Mountain District, of the
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and St. Johns Lutheran Church, Salt Lake City. It
was financed by the Church Extension Fund of the Colorado District. In 1948, the
residence at 1885 E Hillcrest Ave was purchased. Rev. H. Klein of St Mark’s,
Provo, and Rev. R. Schulz of St. John’s began to conduct worship services in the
residence. On Dec. 4 1949, Rev. Robert Hoyer was officially installed as the
first resident pastor of Redeemer. Easter Sunday, April 9, 1950, forty-two adults
were taken into communicant membership and Redeemer congregation was organized as
an official member of the Colorado District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
The present chapel was dedicated on March 8, 1953.
The first educational wing of Redeemer was dedicated in 1959 and the second wing
in 1961. The Christian Day School began with grades 1-6. Currently the school
