What To Expect
Thank you for connecting with us!
We understand that visiting a new church is an important move people do not make without a lot of thought. Because our way of doing church will feel a little different, we want to help you understand what you will experience at Redemption.
Expect to hear about Jesus and the gospel.
A lot. Gospel clarity is our highest value. Seriously!
Expect to be honest about your struggles and your story.
Vulnerability opens us up to God’s rescuing love in Jesus. Weakness is our sweet spot!
Expect a small gathering of people creating meaningful community.
We are at the beginning of our journey, looking forward to welcoming new people.
Expect repeated invitations to engage in life-on-life relationships with people beyond Sundays.
Ragamuffins Coffee House is a great place to connect during the week.
What about our kids?
While we hope to offer childcare for children ages newborn to preschool in the future, parents are invited to bring their children with them in the worship gathering. You’ll notice other families at Redemption choose to do this. It’s our joy to have children of all ages worship Jesus with us!
For more on the value of including children in the worship gathering, check out this helpful article: Let the Children Worship in Church.
Recent Messages
Where do you line up? Behind the Lamb or behind the red dragon and the beasts? John sees people adore Jesus for redeeming them and angels proclaiming the gospel to those who have not been redeemed. The glorious truth is Jesus is coming to complete his mission, to take in his harvest. Learn more from this message on Revelation 14.
The counterfeit trinity - the dragon, the sea beast, and the land beast - rate 6-6-6 in comparison with the Triune God - the One who sits on the throne, the Lamb, and the Spirit - the perfect 7-7-7! Deceptively imitating Victorious Jesus for a short season is Satan's strategy to rob God of his glory and to distract believers from trusting in Jesus. Learn more in this message on Revelation 13.
John receives a vision of a woman giving birth to a male child while a dragon threatens to devour the baby. What does this bizarre story tell us about the metanarrative of the Bible? How can believers find encouragement from the present reign of Jesus as King of Kings and from the limitations set for Satan? Learn more in this message from Revelation 12.
A little scroll comes from the hand of a mighty angel to John and to those who will be Jesus' witnesses. They will share his message, suffer martyrdom, and receive resurrection -- living lives patterned after the life of Jesus! Learn more in this message on Revelation 10-11:13.

God’s word changes our lives by communicating one message that’s all about Jesus. We explore the rescuing love of God in Christ through a number of different messages together.
Bible Study
Wednesdays at 6PM
The Gospels―Matthew, Mark, Luke, John―are four accounts of Jesus’s life and teachings while on earth. But should we accept them as historically accurate? What evidence is there that the recorded events actually happened?
Presenting a case for the historical reliability of the Gospels, New Testament scholar Peter Williams examines evidence from non-Christian sources, assesses how accurately the four biblical accounts reflect the cultural context of their day, compares different accounts of the same events, and looks at how these texts were handed down throughout the centuries. Everyone from the skeptic to the scholar will find powerful arguments in favor of trusting the Gospels as trustworthy accounts of Jesus’s earthly life.
Begins September 3 at 6PM

Ragamuffins Coffee House
Why a Coffee House?
Ragamuffins Coffee House loves and serves the Laurel community by cultivating a place to connect around hand-crafted coffee. Redemption developed Ragamuffins as a way to connect the gospel to daily life and as a space for Sunday worship gatherings. We want to see strong community permeate our church and coffee house.

What We Believe
Redemption Community Church is a nondenominational Christian church with Reformed roots. The Reformed confessions and catechisms, such as the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Heidelberg Catechism, are reliable guides and helpful summaries of what we believe the Bible teaches.
With other Christian and evangelical churches,
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
