who we are

OUR STORY

Redemption started out like a lot of churches, just some friends getting together to share their faith journey. Two ladies longed to go deeper in their walks with Christ and felt the Holy Spirit was the key, so they began a simple Bible study in one of their homes. What started very simple and natural grew over time into a small group pastored by a husband and wife who affiliated the group with the Assemblies of God. Many rented locations and pastors followed until the church landed at its current spot in Meiners Oaks and built their own church home under the leadership of Pastor Ellis Robertson. Today, Redemption seeks to bring the hope of Jesus to the Ojai valley and beyond. 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We want to be a real church, for real people. Our desire is to bring people closer to Jesus, and to strengthen each other through the bond we share in Him. We believe that the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us today. We believe that the time is now for the church to mobilize and see our valley transformed by the love of Christ.
