Our Mission and Vision
Our mission (what we are here to do):
To declare and demonstrate God’s plan of redemption in Jesus Christ.
Our vision (what we desire to see):
An ever-growing group of people from the Lower Burrell area redeemed by Jesus and on mission together to seek and to save the lost in our community.
Our Values
Bible-Centered
We believe that God’s Word (preached, taught, shared among each other, and studied individually, etc.) is the means by which God grows His people. We adhere to the beliefs expressed in the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.
Gospel-Driven
When we say our mission is to declare and demonstrate God’s plan of redemption (the gospel), we mean that our aim is always the salvation of those who are apart from Christ. We declare this plan of God’s by clearly articulating the gospel through all means available, and we demonstrate this plan by compassionately pursuing people with the love God has placed in our hearts.
Disciple-Making
The Christian faith is not merely a set of beliefs to be affirmed as true. It is a new life and a call to follow Jesus daily. To be a Christian means to be seeking to grow in three areas: walking with God, loving each other, and seeking the lost. In all of these areas, we strive for what we call "imperfect progress", relying on the grace and mercy of God each step of the way.
Multiplying
We strongly desire to raise up and send out Christian leaders from within our midst to plant churches and do gospel ministry outside of Redemption Church, wherever God may be calling them. We hope that this means planting other churches in Western PA, as well as around the world.
Our adopted statement of faith document is available here.
In addition, our beliefs regarding the roles of men and women in God’s perfect plan are summarized in The Danvers Statement.
Our Roots
How did we get here?
Redemption Church was born out of the pastoral ministry and calling of Fred Neal. Pastor Fred Neal has been in pastoral ministry since 2003 and has been faithfully preaching and teaching the Bible to those he was called to shepherd. In 2019, Pastor Fred and his family faithfully responded to the call on their lives to leave their current ministry and take the gospel to a new location.
Lower Burrell is uniquely positioned in that there are nearly 150,000 people located within a 20 minute drive - a great launching pad for the spread of the gospel message. In 2019, a launch team was founded, and Redemption Church started growing. The launch team met regularly prior to the public launch in order to be equipped with the mission, vision, and values of Redemption Church. September 8th, 2019 was the first public service of Redemption Church, and our history is being written daily.
