Our Story

How it all started...

Redemption (originally Ojai Assembly of God) 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. 

Expanding the vision...

Our desire is to bring the love of Jesus to the world, starting in the Ojai valley. We aim to serve this valley by being the hands, the feet, and the voice of Jesus. Bringing hope and life wherever we go. Creating a sense of ‘Welcome Home’ for all. 

Where we are headed...

We plan to expand our reach by continuing to grow at our campus in Meiners Oaks. One of our primary ways we are expanding our outreach is through CityServe. For more info about CityServe, contact Markus at  mlinecker@redemptionojai.org.
