Why does downtown Edmond need a new church?
The Church at large has a trust problem. Recent studies reveal that a gap is growing between Christians and those around us. In 2007, when asked about religious identity, Christians outnumbered those claiming “no religious affiliation” by almost five-to-one (78% vs. 16%). Christians now outnumber these religious “nones” by a ratio of a little more than two-to-one (63% vs 29%). More troubling is the fact that the youngest generations of Americans show an even larger divide.
As a church, we want to help close that trust gap, but it’s going to take more than words. This won’t happen in a one-hour a week church service on Sunday.
We believe that the challenges in our world are real, but they also represent an opportunity to engage our world. So, we are designing our space and preparing our community with four goals in mind.
Our goal is to raise $750,000 to move into our home.
We can’t wait to open the doors of our first church home to our city! We have purchased a property in downtown Edmond and will be starting construction by the end of 2022. Redemption Church has a track record of stepping up when God leads the way.
