About Us

Becoming Who God Created You

In July of 2009, God gave our founder a vision to launch a ministry called New Covenant Church of God in Christ. Its purpose was to be a bridge between the old traditions of church and new believers who knew nothing about God. From it, birthed a small group of believers and new converts with a mission to add to the Kingdom of God. After a couple of years in Tempe, AZ, the ministry took a time for evaluation, resetting and relaunched in July of 2013. In three years the ministry grew from 12 to nearly 300 in average attendance each Sunday. In the fourth and fifth year of ministry, God began a complete overhaul and redefinition of the Ministry.

From that refined vision, our Pastor was led to change the ministry name to Redemption Life Center. The name change was to encourage and reaffirm that “No One Is Beyond God’s Reach.” Since the renaming of the ministry, Redemption has become a hub of growth for new converts, hungry believers and a place of training for those who have been called to ministry beyond the four walls. In 2019, Redemption shifted from its denominational affiliation to a non-denominational approach to ministry and faith. It’s imperative to our ministry to contour our ministry approach to show that all ethic and cultural backgrounds are welcomed.

Redemption has grown into a ministry with a world-wide reach the in-person and online worship initiatives. We are active in our community through community feeding, resource distribution and social activism. We believe we are called to minister to more than just the spiritual, but rather, minister to the whole man- Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Emotional. We accomplish this though various ministries and support groups within our local body.
