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
John and the other gospel authors record the FACTS surrounding the resurrection of Jesus on the first Easter morning. In this message, we track the theme of the resurrection through the entire letter to the Philippians. Learn more about the POWER of the resurrection in this Easter message.
Jesus' two-mile trip from Bethany to Jerusalem for his final week of ministry is colored by the presence of Lazarus. Many travelers to Jerusalem for Passover knew about Jesus, but they marveled at the recent resurrection of Lazarus. Learn more about how Jesus' suffering and death are overshadowed by the hope of the resurrection in this message from John 12:1-19.
Philippians presents us with the opportunity to live a life of JOY by believing the gospel. Another tremendous advantage packaged up together with joy is PEACE. Learn how you can enjoy God's peace in your personal relationships and in your daily life through this message on Philippians 4:2-9.
Not everyone is a good pattern for Jesus' followers to imitate. In this passage, believers are warned about the need for discernment between examples that resemble Jesus and examples that are enemies of his cross. Learn more in this message on Philippians 3:17-4:1.

Bible Study
Wednesdays at 6PM
In this timely book, Kevin DeYoung challenges each of us—the skeptic and the seeker, the certain and the confused—to take a humble look at God’s Word regarding the issue of homosexuality.
After examining key biblical passages in both the Old and New Testaments and the Bible’s overarching teaching regarding sexuality, DeYoung responds to popular objections raised by Christians and non-Christians alike, making this an indispensable resource for thinking through this issue.
Begins April 30 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.
