Why Are We Planting?

Church planting has always been one of the most effective ways to reach new people with the Gospel. After years of prayer, conversations, assessment, and planning, we believe God is leading us to partner in launching Redemption Church. We invite you to learn more about the journey, the vision, and how you can pray with us.
