REDEMPTION WORLD OUTREACH CTR

What REDEMPTION WORLD OUTREACH CTR does

Redemption Church is a multi-campus Christian ministry operating as a 501(c)-style nonprofit, headquartered at 105 Nortech Parkway in San Jose, California, with a second physical campus at 315 Roe Road in Greenville, South Carolina, and a global online campus distributed via YouTube, Facebook, Roku, Apple TV, and iChurch Online. Founded in 1991 by Senior Pastors Ron and Hope Carpenter with three members, the church serves congregants across age segments through an integrated ministry stack including Kids, Youth, Society 242 Young Adults, Life Groups, Dream Team volunteering, Pastoral Care, and Outreach programs such as the Food Pantry and Clothing Closet. The organization rebranded from Redemption World Outreach Center (RWOC) to Redemption Church in 2025.

The technology stack combines a third-party church management system (Church Community Builder), the RightNow Media content partnership (25,000+ Bible study resources), Pushpay for online and recurring giving, Mailchimp for email, and iChurch Online for streaming. In 2025 the church launched Ron Carpenter AI, a text-based knowledge-retrieval tool that draws on Pastor Ron's 30+ year sermon archive to deliver on-demand biblical insights. Signature digital properties include The Vault sermon archive, Red Worship's recorded music ("Presence People" album, 2025), and the Ron + Hope Unfiltered podcast. Ron Carpenter Ministries additionally distributes content via national television broadcast.

The revenue model is donation-driven, anchored by recurring tithes and offerings collected through Pushpay (including a campus-specific annual Expansion Offering), supplemented by transactional revenue from paid courses (Healing the Heart at $149, Pre-Marriage Class at $69 per couple), merchandise sales via store.myredemption.cc, and employer-matched gifts processed through Benevity. Customer acquisition is community-led and event-driven, relying on word-of-mouth, Life Group participation, the Dream Team volunteer pipeline, and major annual events (Transfer Conference, Come Higher retreats, Calling All Queens, The Draft volunteer recruitment). Leadership is founder-anchored, with an executive bench including a CFO/Executive Pastor, CSO, CHRO, and Chief Ministries Officer overseeing all campuses.
