Our Story

Vision: 

To live everyday freely and joyfully, in all circumstances, upholding our fundamental and shared mission:

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”" Mat. 22

REden Christian Network began meeting together on January of 2025 with 2+ Christians hungry for the Word of God and more closeness with our Father God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit, 3 in 1! All while yearning to connect with one another and strengthen each other in our journeys whether locally, nationally or globally.

Our mission-driven, Word-focused, prayerful, hospitable network is spread out across the states of North America and beyond, including South America, Asia and more. REden's launching sites include the Southeast Region, USA. Our goal and hope is that our network opens connection opportunities with others who follow Jesus for and during spiritual growth, temporary travel, permanent moves, mission/ministry relocations, etc.

• The Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life. 

• There is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

• Man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin.

• The only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.

• We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead. 

• God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it.

• The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a body of believers on mission to enlarge God’s kingdom. The church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control.

• A believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two fundamentals of the church.

We know that Jesus came to save the world and free us from the bondage of sin. He came to REstore the intended bond with our Father God as his sons and daughters, made in His image, with all the grace and righteousness that we are called to experience daily. Today, we can live as co-heirs of a new beautiful and REfreshing Eden designed for each of us. 

Jesus made the way for us to drink from the water well where we never thirst again! Imagine all the beauty that Eden's garden had in the beginning of our history. Yes, that and more, is accessible for all who call Jesus Christ, "Savior." In this walk with Jesus, we can experience REdeeming love, REdefined identity, REnewed hope, and so much more that this passing world could never offer.

So we can remember that Jesus came to REstablish a new everlasting Eden and REplenish our well. We get to live a glimpse, today, in spirit, of everything that is yet to come when He returns!

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’"

What a true Christian life, in love and grace looks like, as shared in Romans:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given[d] to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore 

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Amen!
