Christ Our Redeemer Seminary was born out of the Auburn/Opelika community and our desire is to serve the needs of our community. In addition to our seminary programs, we believe we can serve the broader community by creating, curating, and recommending resources that demonstrate how the gospel of Jesus Christ addresses the questions, needs, challenges, and opportunities we face. We hope that you find something helpful for you here.
"Who is Jesus? What did he teach? What is the meaning of his death? Did he resurrect from the dead and why would that even matter? Is it still plausible to believe that he will return one day? What is the relationship of Jesus to the rest of the Bible?"

What implications do these have for the Church here? In light of these, how can we best serve our community?"

"How do address the need for sound biblical teaching, thorough discipleship, formative worship, authentic community, fruitful evangelism, counter-cultural living, commitment to justice, mercy, and the Great Commission, leadership development and more? How do we address those needs amid the intractable challenges of biblical illiteracy, loneliness and isolation, division and polarization, expressive individualism, consumer Christianity, aversion to commitment, the plague of pornography, leadership failures, gender confusion, marriage failures, mental/emotional health, secret abortions, racism, misogyny, nationalism, anti- and hyper-intellectualism, the de-churching of our young people, and the rapid secularization of culture?"
