Redemption City Church has partnered with the Aaron Hur Group in the search for their new Executive Pastor. This is a new role for the church due to it's recent surge of growth. 

The CHURCH:

How it all started...

In 2018, Parkview Church in Palm Coast had a vision to plant a church off LPGA Blvd. With all the rapid expansion and growth in the area, God made it very clear where the church should start: Champion Elementary School. In April 2018, Redemption City Church launched its first monthly preview service and held one per month for five months. On September 9, 2018, the church officially launched into weekly service. With just 60 core team members, God began to do a great work that continues to expand today!

Where we are now...

In August 2022, our sending church in Palm Coast launched us fully to be an autonomous church. On Easter 2024, we began holding three services every Sunday morning to give more opportunities to reach the growing community around us. Nearly every week we meet new guests and help connect those who are a part of God’s mission of life change in Jesus.

Where we are headed...

Over the past 18 months, we have experienced God doing some incredible things in our church. We have seen tremendous growth both numerically and spiritually. We have seen our attendance double, many people making the decision to follow Jesus, and 50+ people being baptized. We know He has only just started! It is an exciting season at Redemption City and we truly desire to see the Gospel shared and lives transformed.

Due to the growth, we are currently in a capital campaign to build on one of the busiest highways through the Daytona LPGA community. The Legacy Vision Initiative is a two-year commitment to raise a total of $3.3 million (including our regular annual budget). This vision is greater than any one person and will require us all to follow God by faith.As our community grows, we plan to grow and can’t wait to see what God has in store for our community next!

Our Mission

A movement for all people to be rescued by Jesus and renewed in relationship with Him.

Whoever you are, wherever you are from, YOU are welcome here.

Our Vision

It is our vision to be a church that is so about our city that we can be a city that is known for redemption.

Our plan is to establish a permanent location to reach every person within reach, for generations to come. We are a movement for all people to impact our city, our country, and the world beyond with the love of Christ.
