Who We Are
Redeemer is a growing church in Louisville and part of the Presbyterian Church in America. We exist to glorify God by enjoying him together. We share that joy with one another in our church community, our city, and our world. We seek to be gospel-centered and historically rooted.
Ministry Staff
Fritz and his wife Aimee began at Redeemer in the summer of 2016. Fritz has always said he’d like to pastor a church he’d love to be a part of and he has found it in Redeemer. He and Aimee have been married over 30 years by the grace of God. They have five children who have flown the coop and two lovely granddaughters. Fritz grew up in the church, ran from God and the church, and was run down by the Lord while in college. He cut his teeth in ministry in the Mississippi Delta doing youth work. He then attended Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. After that he launched two RUF chapters at Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University. While at WKU he had the privilege of helping his best friend plant Grace and Peace Presbyterian. He likes to think he’s a decent mountain biker but thankfully finds his value in being a child of the King!

Murray and his wife, Addie, have been at Redeemer since 2020. They met at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, where Murray earned his Master of Divinity and Addie completed her Master’s in Counseling. They are expecting their first son in May, though their “firstborn” is Hogarth, their orange tabby cat. The Lord began patiently growing Murray’s heart for ministry in high school, though he resisted that calling all the way through college. After graduation, Murray worked for several years in residential care and youth ministry contexts, before the Lord opened the door to seminary and graciously but firmly pushed Murray through. As a pastor, Murray has a deep desire to see lives changed by the good news of Jesus and to see those who were far off welcomed into the family of God. He is grateful to serve at a church full of people who share that same hope. After Jesus, Murray loves his family and friends, the outdoors, husker football, and early-2000s pop-punk.

Hunter and her husband Aaron moved to Louisville shortly after getting married in the summer of 2022 and began attending Redeemer that fall. She grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and attended Clemson University in South Carolina where she attended RUF and received her masters in Clinical Counseling. Hunter and Aaron began helping with Redeemer Youth in the spring of 2023 and have loved fostering relationships and pouring into the youth group ever since. The Roach family welcomed a son, Shepherd, into their family in August 2025 and he has been a fan of the Redeemer Youth group as well, loved well and held often!

Brian Clark has been involved with Redeemer Church since its beginning in 2004 and is very thankful for this gospel-focused family of faith. He was raised in a small, rural church where he trusted in Christ at a young age. He later discovered the Reformed faith while in college, and eventually got involved in a PCA congregation; he has since been a member and officer in several PCA churches. He has learned (and continues to be reminded!) that God's grace and mercy are more than sufficient for us, whatever ups and downs we may face in life. Brian has a grown son, works vocationally in the conservation field, and enjoys participating and mentoring in outdoor activities, in addition to serving in the church and community.
