the gotham fellowship
The Gotham Fellowship is a nine-month learning community designed to broaden your understanding of and deepen your connection to God’s redemptive work by applying theology, spiritual practices, and cultural renewal to your work, your relationships, and New York City.
Each class includes fellows from diverse professional and personal backgrounds. Gotham provides three foundational elements needed for integration of faith and work: theological training, spiritual and personal development, and community formation.
We believe the Gotham Fellowship can have a transformative impact on every person at Redeemer West Side, regardless of their vocation. Through the program we explore how our everyday work plays a part in God’s greater call on our life, growing as a disciple, as well as seeing and pursuing human flourishing in our communities. As we all seek to love our neighbors and heal our city, both individually and as a church, Gotham opens our eyes to how we can view our daily work as a means of ministry and not just a way to pay the bills.
The Gotham Fellowship begins Labor Day Weekend and finishes the weekend before Memorial Day Weekend.
baptism & membership
Baptism is a sign of God’s covenant and is administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ.
If you are a member of Redeemer West Side, your children ages infant through four-years-old are eligible to be baptized during an infant baptism Sunday service.
If you are a teenager or adult and wish to be baptized, you must go through the membership process.
The RWS Membership Class helps potential members learn the gospel theology and ministry of Redeemer West Side so you can join the church. We cover what’s behind the five membership vows, how a PCA church is led, and how members step into our sacred call to love our neighbors and heal our city.
