A recent article in The Atlantic noted that at any given time, more than 40 million adults—not to mention adolescents—experience some form of anxiety. Modern technologies, political polarization, and epidemic loneliness have increased restlessness, worry, and fear. We are living in an age of anxiety.
You’re invited to join us at Redeemer West Side for our spring conference called “Redeeming Anxiety.” Over April 24-25, we’ll explore the unique resources Christianity offers to help us identify, articulate, and grow in and through the big and small things we worry about.
This conference combines teaching from expert guest speakers, practical exercises, community building, and worship, as we together not only learn what God says about anxiety, but experience him gently meeting us in our anxiety.
Please save the date for this conference. I look forward to seeing you there.
With hope,
Pastor Bijan

We are looking for leaders and hosts to help start a new cycle of Pilot Community Groups in 2026!
Pilot Community Groups are brand-new Community Groups (CGs) that commit to meeting for a minimum of seven weeks for the purpose of building gospel community. Pilot Community Groups are especially designed for people new to RWS or who have never joined a CG. Like ongoing CGs, they bring people together for Bible discussion, prayer, fellowship, and mutual encouragement to live out the Christian faith.
