Our History
A story of faithfulness, friendship, and new beginnings.
Deep roots in this neighborhood. Room for new beginnings. A shared story of people showing up for one another.
Rooted in the neighborhood
Conway First Baptist began with a small group of neighbors who wanted to serve their community. They gave money, lumber, time, and labor to build a place to gather—laying a foundation of faithfulness that would carry through generations.
Life Together
Conway Baptist is a source of light and life in the Conway community.
Continuing to Grow
Conway Baptist constructs the building we know today, becoming a place many generations have called their church home.
A small beginning with an open door
Redemption Orlando’s first gathering brought roughly twelve people together in a gymnasium on October 8. The following week, a fire alarm sent the service into the parking lot. The beginning was small and imperfect, but the community kept showing up.
Room to grow
A move into a church building gave Redemption’s growing community a new home. The story continued through ordinary acts of care: setting up chairs, sharing meals, building friendships, and making space for honest questions.
Friendships taking root
Across generations and different life experiences, people from Conway and Redemption are getting to know one another. Longtime faithfulness and fresh beginnings are becoming part of a shared story, with room to learn from each other and grow together.
Coming January 2027
Our next chapter: Redemption Conway
Conway First Baptist and Redemption Orlando will come together as Redemption Conway. Both histories will remain part of who we are, as we carry forward a shared hope: to follow Jesus, welcome our neighbors, and build a community where people belong.
