The Holy Land Experience

November 3 - 13, 2026

You're Invited This Fall!

I am excited to announce and invite you to participate in Church of the Redeemer’s 2026 Study Tour of The Holy Land - November 3 - 13, 2026.

From personal experience, I can confidently say that this trip will change your life. As we walk where Jesus walked, study and reflect on God’s Word in places like Gethsemane, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, the Mount of Beatitudes, and many other locations, the Bible will come alive to you like never before. In addition, you’ll enjoy great fellowship with other believers as we tour together.

Please consider joining Terry and me as we travel to Israel on this wonderful, transformational adventure!
