Who We Are
We are not merely a group of "church goers" who are united by similar interests and activities. Redeemer is an organic community of Jesus-followers in Johnson City, Tennessee who share life together and who are on a relational mission to connect our city to God.
People frequently talk about the relational and life-giving nature of our community. Some say it is because we're not caught up in promoting and protecting an organization, but focused on God's grand story of redemption. Many think it's because we get so excited about launching people into God's vision for their lives. Still others talk about how our community is both close-knit and yet swings the door wide open to people, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. Whatever the reason, we are so thankful that God has left His mark here.
The History of Redeemer
The initial beginnings of Redeemer finds its source in the relationship of two local families who had known, prayed and lived life together for over a decade. In 2006 God laid upon the hearts of these families to launch a church that would be committed to coaching and multiplying a new generation of Christ-followers.
Since that time Redeemer has drawn together an eclectic group that has found a common identity in the Gospel and are on a relational mission to "Enjoy Christ, Love His Friends and Engage the World" in every sphere of our lives.
This three-fold mission to our city has proven to be a unique voice. God has blessed us with growth on every side! We have watched people fall in love with Christ as they have been taught to personally search and study the scriptures. We have experienced discipling relationships at its highest level. And we have seen people coached and launched into their God-given missional focus.
