At Redemption Church our desire is not to simply plant a church, but rather to establish Biblical Family through Discipleship. We want to do this in the most challenging and broken areas of our city beginning in Red Hook - Brooklyn. We know the Gospel changes lives, and our desire is to empower and equip people to be where the Gospel will shine the brightest. In doing so we trust God will bring Redemption to people who are far from Him and Reconciliation to the Family of God for the Glory of God.
​
We believe God has the power to transform broken communities as well as save lost people for the glory of His name. Because of this truth Redemption Church is being planted in one of New York City's most challenging communities, Red Hook - Brooklyn. Red Hook is been known for its history of Crime, Violence, Drugs and Gangs. However, it is also becoming known for its rapid change and Gentrification. Nonetheless, in the midst of all its challenges we see the Hope that is provided through the Gospel - being able to walk in the reality that God's glory shines best in the midst of mans most broken and challenging situations.
