Redemption Church KC

From our very first series as a church "Re:defining Church" we have explored the idea that Jesus came to usher in the Kingdom of God. Over and over in our services we think through and wrestle with what that might mean for each of us. We never shy away from our own brokenness and failures. Redemption has never been a plastic place, but a place where we are honest about the reality of our sinfulness, our fear, our pain, and our regret. We believe that the Kingdom of God is advancing not through rules and regulations or through violence and coercion, but through self-sacrificial love. This is the example Jesus gave us and it is the example we are attempting to embody as a community. Our heart as a church is expressed by a prayer that is repeated every time we gather: “Lord teach us how to love each other, and how to love the world around us for your sake.”

In 2010, our leadership began exploring the idea of a permanent facility where we can worship together and bring God to the Olathe community. After great consideration, we set out on this crazy ride of finding a place, raising money and buying a building! (Did we mention we did it all in under 8 weeks?) In October, we received over $700,000 in pledges and we purchased a building on January 20, 2011. We plan to renovate the building and move in permanently in summer of 2011.
