Redemption is a non-denominational, multi-generational, and multi-ethnic church. We held our first service on October 19, 2014, in the home of Pastors Esteban and Ahelya Vargas. From those early gatherings, the church continued to meet from house to house and city to city, faithfully serving throughout the Victor Valley area as the Lord led — and we continue with a heart to reach the world for Christ and for generations to come.
Our Mission, Vision, and Purpose define what we do, why we do it, and how we do it. They keep us centered on the heart of Jesus and the calling of His Church — expressed through the Great Commandments and the Great Commission.
Redemption’s MVP is simple:
Redemption is a community — followers of Jesus who gather and go to love God, love people, and make disciples.
The Greatest Commandments:
(Matthew 22:34–40; Mark 12:28–33; Luke 10:25–28)
The Great Commission:
(Matthew 28:16–20; Mark 16:15–18; Luke 24:44–49; John 20:19–23; Acts 1:8)
Church values shape the culture that defines who we are. That culture becomes the visible expression of our faith and the identifying mark of our church community. It’s important that we recognize the values the Lord has established within us and intentionally cultivate a culture that leads people to Jesus.
Values create culture, and culture creates the environment through which we fulfill our mission, vision, and purpose. As we gather (as the church) and as we go (as the church), these are the values of Redemption:
As we gather and as we go…
Redemption is a house church that meets in a building on Sundays and goes from house to house throughout the week. Whether we gather in a sanctuary or a living room, our desire is the same — to create a personal and intimate space for you to encounter the Lord and connect with others, all under the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We are a casual, family-style church, always prepared for what God wants to do. We are prepared at every gathering for worship, biblical teaching, prayer, communion, anointing with oil, and the opportunity for baptism.
When we gather, come with expectation — and be ready for the unexpected — because we always come together with hearts that say, “Lord, do what You want to do.”
Acts 2:42-47 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
