Hi - I’m Tim Shaner, the pastor of Redemption Church Nashville
And we are a home church
We are family-friendly & we love the Word of God
And we have a heart to reach the spiritually lost in our area
We planted our church in Jan, 2020 under the leadership of Pastor Mark Smith of Refuge Church - where I’m speaking from right now
We were excited that first day because we had 23 people with us in a school building
When covid hit, it changed our direction - and it forced us retreat to our home - and forced me to adapt to preaching on YouTube and Facebook
It forced us to reevaluate how and where God wanted us to serve
For a while, I was frustrated because of all this change - and to be honest, one of my hardest challenges has been to preach to a camera
Until I realized that ultimately, covid was forcing us to do nothing
That it was the Lord who was helping us develop a new vision - and a new way to share the gospel…through technology
The Lord has ordained this church, and many other wonderful churches, to reach many people online
Currently, our online reach is about 150 people
Not all of whom are always engaged with us - but our influence is now greater than those 23 who showed up on our first day
Technology is today’s equivalent of the Roman road system that enables the gospel to reach many people - even from a home-church like ours
But even with all of this technology, we still desire in-person fellowship with others
But because we meet in our home, we are obviously limited in how we invite others - and share with others exactly where live
