A school the Church raised up.
RSA began out of Pastor Steve Wilkins’ conviction that the Church must actively cultivate the next generation of musicians and artists who can continue and deepen the strong tradition of beauty, worship, and craftsmanship we have been given.
Rather than simply hoping that such formation would happen elsewhere, we believe the Church herself should raise up organists, choir directors, composers, cooks, visual artists, and teachers who understand their gifts as service offered to God and to his people.
That conviction became a school. Today RSA trains post–high-school students across three disciplines, inside the daily rhythms of Church of the Redeemer.
