About Us!
You might be wondering, what’s it really like at Redemption Church? Simply stated, at Redemption, we’re all about Jesus. You won’t be met with shame, guilt, or condemnation. And we don’t care how you’re dressed. Or what candidate you voted for. Our church is made up of imperfect people with every kind of story imaginable.
Want to know the best part? No matter what you’ve been through or what questions you might have about God and faith, our church is a place where you’ll find the love, grace, and forgiveness Jesus gives to everyone.

WHO WE ARE
OUR VISION
We exist to see every man, woman and child in the greater Lakeland area and the world experience redemption through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
OUR VALUES
Committed To The Gospel…
The Gospel must be central to everything we are and do as a church. It is the power of God to save and transform every aspect of our lives. It is this defining message that changes everything for us.
Calling Others To The Gospel…
We are compelled by the great love of Jesus to be ambassadors for Christ. We desire to call others to be reconciled with God through the Gospel. We will call others through demonstrating and declaring the Gospel.
Connected To Gospel Community…
Through the death of Jesus, we are connected to others in community. The Gospel brings together people in new and compelling ways, tearing down barriers and allowing us to be vulnerable and transparent with others.
Contributing To Gospel Work…
In light of God’s generosity to us in Jesus, we are compelled to use our time, talents, treasure, and testimony (story) to show Jesus’ infinite value and worth and see the Gospel advance into new lives and hearts.
