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

God graciously gives good gifts to people who trust in Jesus. But Christians are not perfect! Instead, throughout their lives, believers forget whatever is opposite Jesus and strain forward to get more of him! Learn more in this message from Philippians 3:12-16.

Paul protects the Philippians (and all who read his letter!) from thinking that what God requires of people is somehow related to their performance. Gift righteousness is the good news of the gospel! As a result, believers are united to Jesus, the source of their righteousness. Learn more in this message on Philippians 3:1-11.

Timothy and Epaphroditus. Who are these guys? Why do they matter? In Philippians 2:19-30, Paul carefully chooses words to humbly commend these two gospel servants. Learn more about centering your life on seeking the interests of Jesus Christ in the cause of the gospel through these powerful commendations.

God energizes his children to work out the ramifications of their salvation in everyday words and works. In this way, believers shine like stars in the cosmos and hold out the word of life to others. Learn more in this message on Philippians 2:12-18.

The church family grows through life-on-life connections around the message of the Bible. We encourage each other using a variety of helpful, Christ-centered materials. We will be studying Timothy Keller’s excellent video materials, The Prodigal God. CLICK HERE for an overview of The Prodigal God.

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.
