What visitors say
Redemption Hill Bible Church is a wonderful church home for anyone seeking solid, biblically based teaching and genuine Christian fellowship. The sermons are faithful to Scripture, practical, and encouraging, helping believers grow in their walk with Christ. The members are warm, welcoming, and sincerely care about building relationships and supporting one another. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel valued and included. If you’re looking for a church that is committed to God’s Word and has a loving church family, I highly recommend Redemption Hill Bible Church. Redemption hill is a Bible believing church, we’ve attended for a few years now and are apart of small groups and Bible study’s and children’s ministry. We are grateful for the teaching of Gods word each week and the humbleness of the leadership here. Bible based teaching. My husband and I have been attending for almost two years now and are so grateful to have community and support grounded in the teachings of the Bible. There are many options for connection and growth. I especially enjoy the women’s Bible studies as they have encouraged my faith to deepen in ways I have yet to experience at other churches in the past. Solid expository preaching verse by verse they uphold the word of God as the most important thing along with the gospel and they love for Jesus Christ I recommend this church to anybody that is truly seeking a relationship with Christ you cannot go wrong here There was some light snow on the road there but nothing dangerous, and they had super cool outdoor heaters with a coffee station and some pretty appealing looking doughnut holes. I opted for just the coffee plain, and it was just the kind of mid grade church coffee I love. We were given a color map of Paul's travels and knowing full well that the front rows would be empty we made our way up to get our own row in the second row, with a largely empty first row for the band. Looking behind myself most of the rest of the church looked pretty full. The screen was prompting us to get our Bible ready, so I was excited to get a message The music was sort of modern but more theologically sound than radio fare so that was pleasing, and people seemed pleasant. The guy in charge of the teleprompter was a little better than average and minus a technical difficulty at the end I noticed that it was pretty easy to follow. When the pastor prompted a scripture I noticed the sounds of Bibles turning throughout the room, implying there was a pretty dedicated congregation. So far so good. Fellowship time came up, and because there was no one else in the front of the church, the pastor approached us to chat. I had noticed on the website that they had a particularly harsh stance on the gift of tongues, and I asked the pastor if there had been an incident. He said that no there hadn't but he didn't teach that. I said of course not, you can't teach a gift of God. He seemed a little irritated, so I tried to comfort him by saying I did not speak in tongues, so don't worry. I pondered later if he meant that they didn't teach about it? You in google reading land this don't know, but I -hate- when people change the scripture to fit a narrative. I don't like when people add material, and I hate it when people change the meaning. So we're in Acts 16, and he's talking about Lydia first and then the fortune telling slave girl. He mentions how Lydia was so awesome, that after she was baptized, she started by giving the gospel to her whole family, and went on at length about how awesome she was for this. It never says this happens like that in the Bible. While I suppose it's possible that there's some clarifying material that he had read in seminary, it wasn't made clear in any sort of Bible I've heard of. That said it was made clear in the Bible why the fortune telling slave girl stopped telling fortunes. In acts 16:18 Paul rebukes the spirit she used to divine, and she could no longer divine. The preacher went on about how she could no longer tell fortunes because she had heard the gospel. I guarantee every remotely legitimate version of the Bible says that it was because of the rebuke against the spirit of divination within her, not because of the gospel, including the version of the scripture he had up on screen. The scripture he -just- read to us. Nothing about this church seemed like it was the doctrine of demons, but they played a little too fast and loose with the Bible for my liking. Three red flags in one service is a bit much for me.
