Redeemer Church

What Redeemer Church does

Redeemer Church of Lubbock is a private, elder-led nonprofit religious organization founded on January 13, 2008, headquartered at 6402 Elgin Avenue in Lubbock, Texas. It operates three Sunday services plus a portfolio of age-targeted ministries (Redeemer Kids, Redeemer Students, Redeemer College) and community programs (Gospel Communities small groups, Grow Groups, marriage and parenting classes) serving congregants and the broader West Texas community. Beyond its single-site operation, Redeemer runs a church-planting network (Redeemer Network, formalized 2015) that has produced 20+ affiliated or directly planted congregations, a two-year Ministry Residency training pipeline in partnership with Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a global sending program that has dispatched 20 international missionaries as part of its fulfilled 20/20 Vision.

The organization's revenue is funded almost entirely through voluntary tithes, offerings, and online donations processed via Pushpay; select ancillary programs (summer camps, Re|Engage marriage ministry) carry fees of $50–$100 per participant. Its 2023–2024 All In Initiative targets $12 million over two years, allocating roughly $8.5 million to ongoing discipleship operations and $3.5 million to a planned South Lubbock campus under a stated goal of reaching 1% of the Lubbock population. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Redeemer's platform architecture is conventional — a HubSpot-hosted website, YouTube sermon streaming, Spotify distribution for original worship music via its Redeemer Music sub-brand, and standard productivity stack — with no proprietary technology disclosed. Its competitive position rests on a multi-generation church-planting ecosystem, an internal talent pipeline (Ministry Residency and Church-Planting Residency), demographic-specific ministry channels anchored to the Texas Tech University student population, and community partnerships spanning homelessness, foster care, anti-trafficking, and pregnancy support organizations.
