Who we are

Redeemer Church Adelaide (RCA) exists to declare the glory of God and the light of the gospel so that the world would know Jesus as its greatest treasure.

We’re a gospel-centred community that began in 2021, and we’re thankful to be part of the Acts29 and Christian Community Churches of Australia networks.

We believe with all our hearts that the richest life isn’t found in what we can see or achieve, but in knowing and walking with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. He is the treasure worth giving everything for—and we’re here to help people discover that for themselves.
