Christ Redeemer Church is a congregation of about 400 people, located in Hanover, NH, right at the doorstep of the Ivy League institutions of Dartmouth College and Dartmouth‑Hitchcock Medical Center. Since it was planted in 2000, CRC’s vision is to be a church that is formed and driven by the gospel, and so, is missional, both in our local context – as seen in our resourcing, planting, and revitalizing work in places such as New London and Quechee – but also in our global outreach.

Captivated by our biblical and Reformational heritage, we have found that the gospel of Jesus Christ is always bigger, deeper and more counter‑intuitive than we tend to think—and so way more transformational (Rm 1:16). The gospel is not only our message, but also our method. When this gospel is faithfully proclaimed, we believe that the chief fruit is the establishment and nurture of a gracious, holy and loving community (i.e. the church, see Mt 5:14‑16, Jn 13:34‑35, Eph 2‑5 & 1 Jn 3:23) that, as a community, is a witness to the watching world (Jn 17:20‑21).
