Who We Are
Everyone and everything has a history, whether it is a personal history, the history of a business, the history of a nation, or even a religious history. Redeeming Grace Church’s history can be described as a rebirth or, as some Bible teachers describe, a replant. Redeeming Grace Church formerly was Berean Bible Church. From this community, a core group of people was challenged to rediscover and then recommit to being a church that centers everything she does upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ. From many years of wrestling and prayer, Redeeming Grace Church was born in 2004.
Living in Silicon Valley brings a very different style of living. The work ethic has caused many people to be away from family for longer periods of time. Sunday is typically a day strictly set aside for family and sporting events.
As a missional church, Redeeming Grace made a decision to meet on Saturday (Pacifica) or Sunday (Redwood City) evenings because we believe this is the best way to reach our community, while maintaining a consistent and biblical directive to build spiritual maturity into Christians. Furthermore, we want to meet in a church building; not owning our own building limited us to rent from other churches at other times besides Sunday mornings. Saturday and Sunday evenings also allow us to be a part of sports activities as an opportunity to be involved in the lives of those who do not know Jesus.
In 2010, the leadership decided that it was best for the church to split into two sites as a way to better minister in our Bay Area communities. We also decided to send out some of our choice leaders and people to join like-minded churches in their neighborhoods. In July of 2010, a group of our North Bay families joined a small group of new members to form our first church plant located in Pacifica. We are one church that meets in multiple locations.
