          work in the world.

About the Church

As a nondenominational community church, we welcome anyone to come and worship with us.

The purposes of our church are worship, spiritual growth, fellowship, teaching, and evangelism. Our church service is informal, reflecting the area in which we live, and we are serious about our walk with God.

We believe the Bible is God's Word and is the authority for Christian life and faith. We believe God is the Creator and Sustainer of all life. We believe Jesus Christ is God's Son and our only savior. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers enabling them to experience his gifts and fruit and that He empowers us for holy living. We believe in baptism by immersion, although we recognize other forms of baptism as well.

Once a month, we celebrate communion as a memorial of the death of Christ until he comes again.

Small Groups: vary from time to time, please contact office for information, also refer to the newsletter for additional details about the current groups meeting.

Special Events:  Our church offers various events throughout the year.  We have dinners, special music events at the church and local park along with special holiday gatherings. The Church at Redstone also participates with Redstone's annual Fall Art Walk, hosting an artist each year.  Please see our newsletter for the current events for the month.

History of the Church at Redstone

The Church at Redstone was founded in 1977 by a small group of Crystal River Valley residents. They originally met next door in the building that is now an art gallery. The current building was completed in 1986. It serves many functions for our congregation, and also provides a meeting place for other groups from the community.

In 1989 the founding pastor and about half of the Redstone congregation started a sister church in Carbondale.

Many people come from the immediate area to worship here, but others drive from as far as 30 miles away. We usually have from 80 to 120 people in attendance.
