Redeemer Church Chester le Street launched in January 2020. However, our story didn’t start there! As a community, we have been meeting in Chester le Street for much longer.

We were originally planted out of Emmanuel Church Durham in 2016 as a result of a prophetic word for Emmanuel about expanding along the River Wear. Following a lot of prayer and seeking God’s will, a small group was subsequently set up in Chester le Street, meeting regularly in the town to pray for it and to worship Jesus together. This small group continued to grow, and increasingly felt God’s heart and will to plant a new church in Chester le Street to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the community.

Today we continue to long for the people of Chester-le-Street to encounter the love of God for them in Jesus Christ.

We are part of a wider family of churches called Regions Beyond.
