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.

The final view of the kingdom of God in the Bible is the glorious imagery of Revelation. Jesus reigns over a perfect kingdom of love, joy, healing, rest, grace, and glory! Learn more in this message on The Perfected Kingdom. (Learn more about the God's Big Picture series at www.godsbigpicture.co.uk.)
The storyline of the Bible develops so that believers in Jesus Christ are invited into God's kingdom by the preaching of the gospel. The events of Pentecost -- and all of the preaching in the book of Acts -- demonstrate Christ building his kingdom through the proclamation of repentance and faith. Learn more in this message about The Proclaimed Kingdom. (Learn more about the God's Big Picture series at www.godsbigpicture.co.uk.)
For Christmas, we marvel at God's gift to an impossibly-broken world, Jesus. Gabriel and the angels came to specify in no uncertain terms why Mary's baby boy would be called Jesus: he is the Savior! Learn more in this Christmas Eve message on Luke 1:26-38 and 2:1-21.
All of God's promises to Abraham and to David and to the people of Israel and Judah in exile find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ alone! As the culmination of the plan of redemption, only Jesus will save his people from their sins. Learn more in this message about The Present Kingdom.

Bible Study
Wednesdays at 6PM
How do you live as a Christian in a world that doesn’t follow Jesus? The Bible speaks of the Christian life as living in exile. In exile, you feel like you’re not at home, and there’s a sense of pressure to conform to outside influences. But the book of Daniel calls us to live out our faith without compromise while still reaching out in love to those around us. In this study, Paul S. Kim guides us on how to live with courage and conviction. Learn more about this Bible study in a short introduction video from the author: CLICK HERE.
Begins January 7 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.
