Yes—fully and intentionally. Christ’s Redemption Church affirms LGBTQ+ people in all aspects of church life, including leadership, participation, and community. You are welcome here exactly as you are.
You can expect a relaxed, inclusive environment focused on love, grace, and connection. There’s no pressure to participate, give, or speak. Come as you are, sit where you’re comfortable, and take it at your own pace.
We’re truly sorry for the pain many have experienced in religious spaces. At Christ’s Redemption Church, we lead with compassion, accountability, and respect.
There is no pressure to trust quickly, participate before you’re ready, or revisit beliefs that caused harm. You are welcome to observe, heal, and move at your own pace. Your story matters here, and your boundaries will be honored.
Whatever makes you feel comfortable. Some people dress casually, others a bit more traditionally—there’s no dress code and no expectations. You belong here just as you are.
Not at all. Questions, doubts, and different perspectives are welcome. Whether you’re deeply spiritual, exploring faith, or unsure where you stand, you are invited to belong and explore alongside us.
No. There is no pressure to donate, join, or commit. Giving is always optional, and participation is entirely up to you. We’re grateful you’re here—nothing more is required.
Yes. Christ’s Redemption Church welcomes people of all ages, identities, and life experiences. Families, singles, seekers, and those returning to church after difficult experiences are all valued here.
Here at Christ's Redemption Church we honor the original biblical Sabbath which is the 7th day, Saturday. While we hold to our ancient faith roots we do not judge anyone be it whatever day they view as holy, holidays they celebrate, or anything else for that matter.
"Therefore, do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food or drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths." -Colossians 2:16
"Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Those who observe the day, observe it for the Lord. Also those who eat, eat for the Lord, since they give thanks to God, while those who abstain, abstain for the Lord and give thanks to God." -Romans 14:5-6

OPEN MINDED PEOPLE
Although I’m not much on organized religion if we had more open minded people practicing religion it may change my mind to it one day. So happy to see a safe space for people in my community in our area and hope the church grows to its full potential.

FEELS LIKE COMING HOME
This congregation is not a church of silver tongues and pageant-laden performances. It is a home for the perfectly imperfect- a family rooted in faith and driven by love. Here, people are welcomed as they are, not as they are expected to be.
For those of us still carrying heavy chains, there is no ostracism, only grace. Space is made for healing, for growth, and for the difficult work of becoming. When someone stumbles, they are not cast aside; they are gathered in.
I've never seen this community look down on another person. The only time I've seen them lower their gaze was to offer a hand to someone who had fallen. In a world that can feel cold and lonely, this church feels like coming home.

MESSAGE OF LOVE
Far too many churches have abandoned Jesus’s teaching of love and strayed into false practices of domination, conformity, and oppression. Christ’s Redemption Church reminds people that there are still churches with a message of love.
