- In August, our 13-year-old grandson, Jefferson, chose to be baptized (photo above). This followed a time of reflection on his part while he was at a summer Christian camp with his church youth group. He made a re-commitment during the camp and later realized he hadn’t taken the important step of publicly declaring his faith […]
- Look back at Bruce Enns’ hockey coaching days and you’d find him on the ice. “I was a player-coach,” he says. “I was on the ice playing and coaching at the same time. You’re not just on the bench or in the stands. You’re actually in the game.” Enns brings a similar leadership approach to […]
- Churches are often confronted with tough situations and agonizing decisions. Opinions and preferences clash. Feelings arise. Conflicts emerge, and we struggle to resolve them. We discuss, and sometimes we fight. Often, we leave the discussions frustrated and discouraged. Or we somehow decide something, but we’re not really convinced. So, afterward there is grumbling, or perhaps […]
- What We Do
- Church Multiplication

Redemption Church
Since 2019, Redemption Church in Owatonna, Minnesota, has met in a 3,200 square-foot building in a strip mall. As the congregation outgrew the space, Pastor Christian Kohs began looking into purchasing and renovating a warehouse, a process he said would have taken years to get up to code.
Instead, God provided an opportunity for Redemption to purchase a meeting space in the heart of downtown, breathing new life into the oldest building in Steele County and providing opportunity for growth.
in February, a Redemption member learned from a neighbor that First Baptist Church (FBC) on Main Street was closing its doors. Pastor Kohs visited the church and soon after was consulting Central District Conference (CDC) leaders and making an offer matching the asking price of $168,000, although the 132-year-old building and its contents were worth $3.1 million. Although Redemption’s bid was the lowest of three, because the two higher bidders wanted either to demolish or gut the building, the church accepted Redemption’s offer.
The congregation is planning a grand opening celebration Sept. 11, which coincides with Redemption’s fourth birthday. The church launched on Sept. 9, 2018. Redemption has personally invited the 11 remaining members of FBC to attend.
