Welcome to Our Church

We are often asked, "What type of of church is The Redemption Movement?" Or, "What makes your church different?" Here is a short video that does a great job answering these questions. 

God's Radical and Unconditional Love

At our church, we believe God's love is for everybody. It is His love that changes us and draws people unto Him. God's love is powerful and can piece back together those who are broken, heal the sick, and give life meaning.

The Redemption Movement is a participation in the Divine movement, composed to restore lost and hurting people who are valued by God, with the hope and freedom paid for and found in Jesus Christ.

And it is through the church, through His people, how God has chosen to show his love to all people.

We believe that Jesus is God and the Bible is the Word of God.

While our methods may be different, experimental, and new, our message is in line with the ancient scriptures and we believe, teach, and live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At the core of our beliefs is a conviction that Jesus is God, and that he lived a perfect life that was willed by God to end on a cross, dying for the sins of mankind. But Jesus' story does not end on the cross, for He gloriously rose from the grave, established His church, and now rules and reigns at God's right hand.

Converting vs. Inviting

While we do believe that salvation is available to those who repent and believe, we are not going to pressure people to convert. We will love people, invite them to know the Savior that we personally know, and let God's Holy Spirit do the work of changing lives (not us and our methodologies). 

Connecting People to God. Moving people from wherever they might be on their spiritual journey, to a relationship with God.

As Christians, this means that we are to show others the unconditional love of the God, instead of displaying a holier-than-thou attitude and being insensitive with our religious practices. Ultimately, it is is not about religion, it is about a personal relationship with God, lived out in a community of people known as the church.

Our Dreams, Passions, and Desires are for God's Glory

Discovering Purpose in God. Moving people into an adventure of discovery within a community of believers. Where God's purpose is discovered through participation in discipleship, worship, giving, evangelism and prayer.
Impacting the World for God. Moving people from a self-centered lifestyle and into a new self-sacrificial life in order to impact a broken world with the Gospel.

The Gospel is Safe Yet Dangerous 

While God's love does change us for the better, living in obedience to God is not without pain and suffering. Yet it is the love of God that gives meaning to our suffering and gives us the strength to make it through. 

Great Church Values

Valuing the 8 Values of The Redemption Movement

In 2009-2010 we put into words a church mission statement, a ministry approach, and long term plan. In 2012, we realized that we were missing a key element to our church identity: Values. Now, with a newly-minted official set of values, we hope to strengthen all of our ministry visions and plans.

Any random group of people can be given a singular task, and everybody can start off energized to see the task completed; but, unless every person equally values the same truths, conflicts will naturally arise, and the task (and even the group itself) will fall apart.

Moreover, having every group member share the same values still isn't good enough. Churches provide us with a clear example of this. It's painfully obvious that there are too many different church groups to keep track of, yet they all share the same Christian doctrines, and even values to a lesser extent. Despite this, people of shared faith are able to find significant enough differences to justify division. I suggest that church divisions aren't for a lack of believing in good doctrine, or even holding similar values; instead, churches divide because they value certain values more than others. A valuing your values, if you will.

Therefore, it's important for a faith community to prioritize their values. As recommend in Philippians 1:27 and 2:2: "stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel." "...then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. (NIV)" Considering how important strong church values are, here are the 8 values of The Redemption Movement, ranked from 1-8:


1. We are centered on the truth of the Gospel.
Mark 8:34-35, Acts 20:24, Romans 1:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

2. We are striving to grow in Christ-like character.
Romans 13:14, Colossians 3:9-15, Philippians 2:3-5

3. We are authentic in our worship.
John 4:23-24, Romans 15:17, 1 Corinthians 10:31

4. We are committed to healthy relationships.
Leviticus 19:18, John 13:34, 1 Thessalonians 4:9, 1 Peter 1:22

5. We are empowered and gifted to be servants.
Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12,13, 2 Corinthians 13:4, Galatians 5:13

6. We are creatively influencing culture for good.
Genesis 1:25-29, 31, Romans 2:6-7, 12:2

7. We are compassionate towards our community.
Matthew 25:35-36, Luke 14:15-24, James 1:27

8. We are simple in both lifestyle and methods.
Matthew 6:19-34, Mark 10:17-31, 12:41-44, Luke 16:1-15

The interesting thing about values is that, whether they're written down or not, they exist in a person's heart. Making a clearly defined list serves to strengthen a person's values. Even though we waited until 2012 to make our official list, these values were actually surfacing in our hearts back in 2009. Defining and ranking our church values has been a valuable and revealing experience and I'm sure it will make us a stronger church.

I encourage individuals to soul-search and create their own value list, and if your values happen to line up with the values of The Redemption Movement, then I invite you to join us and "contend as one man for the faith of the gospel."
