Redeemer Lutheran Church is the church for the Lutheran parish of Langford, a community on the west shore of Victoria, British Columbia. The parish forms a part of the West Region, of Lutheran Church–Canada. The current pastor is Rev. Phillip Washeim, a graduate of Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario; approximately 40 people usually attend Sunday services.
Together with two other Victoria-area Lutheran churches — Church of the Cross, on Cedar Hill Road in Saanich, and Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church, on Carrick Street in Victoria — Redeemer Church participates in refugee relief and missionary efforts abroad. For example, in 2013, through Canadian Lutheran World Relief, the three churches helped collect warm clothing for Syrian refugees at Jordan's Za’atari refugee camp. Also in conjunction with the other local Lutheran churches, Redeemer Church helps to sponsor a missionary family in Mozambique engaged in Bible translation and church organization in Chichewa, a Bantu language also spoken in Malawi and Zambia.
Rev. Washeim is a named defendant in insolvency proceedings launched by multiple plaintiffs over a Valleyview, Alberta seniors home.
