Our Story
In August of 2012, Mark and the elders at Redemption Church Northridge gathered a group of people to meet on Sunday nights to pray about a church plant in the Sylmar area. After six months of praying and planning, the Lord opened up the door to begin our Sunday services on Sunday, February 3, 2013. We moved to our current Sylmar location in 2015. We are a diverse group of people who desire to proclaim the life-transforming message of the Gospel.
