AMBER KREIDER
ADMIN ASSISTANT & CHILDREN'S DIRECTOR
Amber serves our ever growing children's ministry at Redeemer. She loves being able to wear novelty T-shirts to work, and getting the Pastors to dress up in costume. It is her desire to create a space for kids to learn to love Jesus, and the local church, all while embracing the abundance of whimsy and joy that God has intentionally created them with. She also loves coffee, sci-fi and filling her bike basket with snacks and riding around the neighborhood. Amber's husband Jeff can often be found behind the scenes helping create and clean up after her crazy ideas. Their two kids love helping with everything but putting the toys away.

WORSHIP LEADER
Originally from New Castle, IN, Thomas moved into the South Bend area in 2002. He graduated from Bethel College in Mishawaka in 2007 with a degree in Biblical Studies.

Thomas spent six years teaching 4th grade in Plymouth, IN. He is currently employed as a skills coach with Bowen Center, a community mental health organization.
