Leader Bio:
Born February 7, 1955 to the late James E. Parent and Barbara (Nicastro) Parent in Detroit, Michigan, Pastor Parent was baptized in June 1956 at Messiah Lutheran Church in Detroit. He moved with his family to La Puente, California, in 1971 where he graduated high school in 1973.
Having completed high school he enlisted in the United States Air Force in which he served from 1973-75. In 1975 he was awarded one of four full Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarships given to active duty airmen and attended Kent State University, Kent Ohio where he graduated in 1978, a newly minted second lieutenant with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.
After graduation and commissioning, Pastor Parent attended flight training at Mather AFB, California, receiving his navigator wings in August 1979 and served with honor until his retirement in June 1999. During his nearly 23 year career he was assigned eight years in Europe at two bases in Germany, several stateside assignments, including one at the Pentagon, and one with the 82nd Airborne Division as a Division Air Liaison Officer and Squadron Commander, parachute jump qualified Master Parachutist in both static-line and military free fall, having a total of 140 parachute jumps. Pastor Parent also flew over 100 hours in 31 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm.
Immediately upon retiring from the Air Force, Pastor Parent and his family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana where he began his pastoral studies at Concordia Theological Seminary, graduating with a Master of Divinity degree in May 2003 and having served his vicarage at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lockport, Illinois.
Before coming to Redford Evangelical Lutheran Church, Pastor Parent’s first call was to Hope Lutheran Church, Bellaire, Michigan where he was ordained and installed on the Feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and served the people of God in that place for six years.
Pastor Parent met his wife, Cynthia “Cindy” (Shook) while attending Kent State University. They were united in holy matrimony on May 24, 1979 and have been blessed with five children: Andrew, Jessica, Rachel, Matthew, and Grace.

Redford Lutheran Church History
Redford Evangelical Lutheran Church existsed for the mission of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament, in the congregation, the community, the nation, and the world.
Redford Evangelical Lutheran Church "What We Believe" statement (as of 2019)
Redford Evangelical Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Michigan District of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. We are a confessional Lutheran congregation. This means we are catholic but not Roman Catholic. We are evangelical but not a part of the modern Evangelical movement. We hold that Jesus Christ crucified and risen again for the forgiveness of our sins (justification) is the very center and core of who we are. Our Lord comes to us to forgive us of our sins and to give us Himself through the Word of God, preaching, baptism, absolution (forgiveness) and the Lord's Supper.
This one, catholic (Christian) and apostolic faith is confessed in the three ecumenical creeds:
The Apostles Creed
The Nicene Creed
The Athanasian Creed
This faith is also confessed in the Book of Concord of 1580, including:
The Augsburg Confession
The Apology (Defense) of the Augsburg Confession
The Small Catechism
The Large Catechism
The Smalcald Articles
The Treatise of the Power and Primacy of the Pope
The Formula of Concord — Epitome — Solid Declaration
In summary, according to Holy Scripture, and in the unity of this One Holy catholic (Christian) and Apostolic Church, and the Lutheran Confessions, we believe, teach, and confess that:
The one and only true God is the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - as revealed by Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the Father, and His Prophets, Apostles, and Evangelists in the Holy Scriptures (Mt. 28:20). Every human being is conceived and born dead to God, is entirely predisposed to sin, is without inherent fear, love, or trust in God and is lacking in the ability or will to turn toward God, is entirely turned against God and is therefore under the sentence of eternal death and damnation (Eph. 2:1-10; Ps. 51:5). Jesus Christ is true God, eternally begotten of the Father, and at the same time true man, born of the Virgin Mary, and is the only Savior from sin and the only Mediator between God and humanity (Jn. 1:1-3,14; 1 Tim. 2:5; 1 Jn. 5:20; Acts 4:12) Who, by his perfect life and sacrificial death on the Cross, has won the entire forgiveness of sins and eternal life for every human being, from the beginning to the end of the world (Rom. 3:21-26; Gal. 4:4-5; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Jn. 2:2); Who rose bodily from the dead on the third day (1 Cor. 15:3-5); and Who now reigns at the right hand of God as Lord over all (Eph. 4:10-12) We are justified, or declared not guilty, in the sight of God and rescued from sin, death, and damnation not by our works but solely by God's undeserved kindness, His grace given as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ, whose perfect life and sacrificial death as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" fully atones for our sins (Rom. 3:21-28; Eph. 2:8; John 1:29). Good works, prayer, and holiness of life are the fruit of faith in Christ, not the cause of faith or salvation (Jn. 15:5; Heb. 11:16). The Holy Church is present wherever believers are gathered about Jesus Christ and His gifts, that is, wherever the Gospel of Jesus Christ is purely preached and taught, and Holy Baptism, Holy Absolution, Holy Communion are administered according to Christ's mandate and institution, even though unbelievers or hypocrites may also be numbered among those gathered (Mt. 18:20; Acts 2:42; Mt. 13:47-48). Holy Baptism, which is water applied in the Name of the Triune God according to Jesus' mandate and promise, works rebirth and renewal, delivers and applies the forgiveness of sins, joins the baptized to Jesus' death and resurrection, and grants eternal life and salvation to all who believe the promise of salvation attached to Baptism (Mt 28:19-20; Jn. 3:5; Titus 3:5; Eph. 5:25-26; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:11-12; 1 Peter 3:21). Holy Absolution, which is the forgiveness of sins spoken by the Pastor to a penitent sinner in Jesus' Name, actually offers, delivers, and applies the forgiveness of sins to the repentant person with the full authority of the crucified, risen, and reigning Christ (Mt. 16:19; 18:18; Jn. 20:21-23). The Word of forgiveness in Holy Absolution is to be heard as Christ our dear Lord speaking to us Himself (Luke 10:16). Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is the true Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ given under bread and wine, for Christians to eat and drink, instituted by Jesus Christ Himself, for the forgiveness of their sins (Mt 26:26-29; 1 Cor. 11:23-26). The Christian life is one of continual repentance and faith, from which flow good works as the fruit of faith (Mt. 12:33; Lk. 24:47). Our Lord Jesus Christ will appear visibly on the Last Day to raise the bodies of all the dead, to condemn those who reject Him in unbelief together with the devil and his demons to hell and eternal punishment, and to give eternal life to all who trust in Him for forgiveness, life, and salvation (Rev. 1:7; Mt. 25:31-46; Jn. 5:28-29). Holy Scripture, or the Holy Bible, is the written Word of God, is the very "Breath of God" and so is without factual error and is the only source and final authority and judge of all teaching, practice, and life. Holy Scripture preaches the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the repentance and faith of the sinner (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:22; Luke 24:47). The Word of God is a two-fold word - the Law, which reveals our sin and seeks and kills the sinner, and the Gospel, which announces, offers, delivers, and applies the forgiveness of sins through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, creates faith in Him, and gives new life and identity to the believer in Christ (Rom. 1:16; 3:21-22; Gal. 2:19-20)
