OUR LEAD PASTOR

Kenneth grew up to the Northeast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father, Edward, was a World War 2 and Korean War veteran. Advanced in years when Kenneth was born, Edward passed away when Kenneth was eight years old. He is thankful to God for his mother, Yoshiko, who is a passionate woman from Okinawa who demonstrates unconditional love and sacrifice. He attended University of Maryland at College Park for undergrad and received his Bachelor’s in English and later a Masters degree in Education.

His hopes for Redeemer City Church are that she would make the name of Jesus famous in our city and neighborhoods.

He is inspired by stories of redemption, and seeing the power of God manifested in the lives of people. He is a big time sports fan and loves the Maryland Terrapins! Outside of this, he enjoys watching the Miami Dolphins, playing golf, sight seeing, and spending time with friends.

He currently lives in Washington D.C with his wife Melissa.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

From the time of the Apostles to today, Christians have laid out central beliefs in brief, definitive statements. Our Statement of Faith summarizes essential Christian beliefs, shows unity in Christ, and guards the church from error. All who join Redeemer City Church are required to affirm our RCC Statement of Faith. Once we as members agree to the statement, we are responsible for believing and living in accordance with it.

Furthermore, we also hold to certain theological distinctives, which by nature, are distinct to us as a church. Complete affirmation of these theological distinctives is not required for membership. However, these are theological convictions based on scripture which we follow in our teaching. You can find a link to this document at the bottom of this page.

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

WHY A CHURCH COVENANT?

The church covenant is equal parts promise, summary of expectations, ethical statement, and biblical standard. We require all new members to publicly affirm it before joining the church. We also reaffirm our commitment to the covenant at various times throughout the year, stand as a body, and recommit ourselves to it.
