Church Planting
“The vigorous, continual planting of new congregations is the single most crucial strategy for 1) the numerical growth of the Body of Christ in any city, and 2) the continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a city. Nothing else–not crusades, outreach programs, para-church ministries, growing mega-churches, congregational consulting, nor church renewal processes–will have the consistent impact of dynamic, extensive church planting. This is an eyebrow raising statement. But to those who have done any study at all, it is not even controversial.”

One of our commitments here at Redemption Hill is to be a church that plants churches. Our intention is to see Gospel-Centered, Grace-Driven, and Mission-Minded church communities cultivated throughout the greater Richmond area as well as throughout our entire region. We commit part of our budget to it, our time to pray for it, and our people to the mission of making it a reality.
To assist us in this process, we have partnered with the Acts29 church-planting network. A29 is a network of like-minded church planters who partner together and assist one another in planting churches throughout the world. The following specific churches have generously partnered with us to help make Redemption Hill a reality. Take some time to visit their sites and check out a service if you’re in their city one Sunday.
–> Summit Church (Durham, NC)
–> Vintage 21 Church (Raleigh, NC)
–> Portico Church (Charlottesville, VA)
–> Crosscurrent Church (Virginia Beach, VA)
–> Christ the King (Raleigh, NC))
