On January 22nd at 10:00 AM at Rockwell High School Elder/Pastor Steve Pierson, and Elder/Executive Pastor Chris Pengra (also Mayor of Eagle Mountain) and a group of fellow believers officially launched the Redemption Hill Church (RHC). The first meeting had about 55 adults and 15 children in attendance. Redemption Hill Church is the result of a group of members of the Risen Life Church in Salt Lake City wanting to start a church in Northern Utah County. The first official meeting was held at Rockwell High School in Eagle Mountain.
We are anticipating a consistent growth as the community becomes aware of our location. Our desire is to provide a safe place where people can experience God through down to earth, relevant Bible teaching. Additionally, we want to enhance a culture where people can be real about the struggles they’re facing in life without the fear of being judged. Above all else, we want people to be built up and encouraged in the grace that God freely gives to those who choose to seek after Him. – Steve Pierson (RHC Elder/Pastor)
RHC has a vision “to make the love and grace of God known through the relevant, deliberate, proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, to Utah County, Utah, and the world.” Their mission is three fold. First, Know Christ Personally. Second, Grow in Christ together. Thirdly, Go Share with others.
The church government is a “shared leadership, or a plurality of elders in the local church.” Their website expands on this concept of church government.
Shared leadership is not a hindrance but rather a great benefit, because it allows leaders to share responsibilities and burdens that would overwhelm a single leader and perhaps hinder him from caring for the whole body. Shared leadership also provides much-needed moral and administrative accountability, care, and support. Therefore, Redemption Hill is an elder led and protected church. The final authority for the church, under God, rests with the Elders.
RHC incorporates the core values of teaching God’s word, team ministry, community, openness and honesty. You can find their beliefs on The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, Man, Salvation, Grace and Baptism from their website.
