Our Mission
To proclaim the glories of Christ in Brevard and beyond in order to make and to gather His followers.
There are many good works which churches can do. There are many activities which individuals will do. But there is only one thing which the church must do. Before Jesus went back to heaven, He gave His followers a task. Our Lord’s final words determine the mission of the church – the mission of our church.

Our Vision
That God would save, satisfy, and send people in Jesus’ name.
We serve an infinite and all-powerful God. A God who shakes mountains and transforms lives. He has done amazing works throughout history, and we long to see Him work in our day. Therefore, we will pray for great things, expect great things, and work for great things because we serve a great God.

Our Core Values
The core values of any organization reflect who they are and what they believe. At Redeemer Church, we have six core values we promote through every aspect of our ministry.
The Glory of God
God is glorious, and everything exists to give him glory. Everything from the purpose of creation to humanity, to the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, indeed everything, is for the glory of God because he is amazing! We glorify God when we are satisfied in Him, and we glorify God when we align ourselves and our lives with who God is and what God desires for us; we glorify God when we make much of the salvation He has provided for us in Jesus.
Gospel-Centered
When we say that Redeemer is a gospel centered church, we align ourselves with a reformed tradition of how we believe the Scriptures teach us about the doctrine of God, man, sin, and salvation. We believe that God is central in the planning, accomplishing, applying and initiating our salvation. Everything we do at Redeemer is centered on the gospel, proclaiming the good news that Jesus paid it all.
Continuationist
We believe in the active presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit and the continuation of all spiritual gifts for the believer today. The work of the Holy Spirit is to manifest the active presence of God in the world and especially in the church. Therefore, we are eager to experience the presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit at Redeemer from the moment our gathering begins to the very end. And then we seek to walk by the Spirit as we scatter into our lives.
Community
The Scriptures teach us we are all hard-wired for relationships. When God created us in His image, He created us as relational beings, just like He is. At Redeemer Church, we honor God’s design by emphasizing the necessity of making disciples together in community. You will find opportunities to belong and participate in growing relationships with others. No longer alone, but loving, serving and caring for one another in the church is our goal.
Expositional Preaching
At Redeemer, we are committed to expository preaching—meaning, we typically preach through entire books of the Bible, paragraph by paragraph, seeking to allow each text to instruct and transform us. As pastors, we believe the most significant thing we can do for those we are called to serve is to preach the word of God to our church faithfully. When we listen to, respond and apply God’s word to our lives, we grow!
Transfer the Gospel
The Great Commission gives the church a wonderful assignment—to participate in spreading the gospel throughout the world. Therefore, our mission includes reaching the world and passing the good news on to others. This obligation is both corporate and personal. We must all own the responsibility and privilege to communicate the good news in our homes, families, neighborhoods, workplaces, or schools. Our ultimate hope is to see churches planted and missionaries sent from Redeemer Church.
Meet the Leadership
Our pastors love the Lord, the Word of God, and the community in and around Bethany Baptist Church.
