About
Welcome Brothers & Sisters
Christ Redeeming Community Church began on January 3, 2010 in San Antonio, TX. Pastors David & Mamie Funches, having answered God’s call, began this ministry to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the community.
OUR VISION
We believe we are to impact the lives of families in our community with the message of Christ who redeemed us with His blood and transformed lives through His Word.
Our core values are to speak the vision to the community, savor the vision in our worship, strengthen the vision through study and education, and spread the vision through evangelism, ministry, and service.
At CRCC, our purpose is to equip God’s people to delight in His presence through worship and praise, long for Christ’s return, and declare His name to the community.
So come as you are and join us in praising His holy name.

Small Beginnings
Christ Redeeming Community Church began on January 3, 2010 here at 13777 Judson Rd., Ste. 111. Pastors David and Mamie Funches, having answered God’s call, began this ministry to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the Community. Our church name derived from Ephesians 1:7-8, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence”.
Our first service began with 9 official members. The Lord met and blessed us in every Sunday service and Wednesday Night Bible Study where we’re taught the true and unfiltered word of God. In October 2010, Christ Redeeming was recognized as an official 501(c)3. As the ministry grew, so did the community outreach. Outreach ministries included clothing drives, computer training, Food Bank, Thanksgiving baskets and more. In correlation with our church growth, board members were elected to encourage the Pastors in the fulfillment of the vision and purpose God ordained for this house.
Over the last few years additional families joined their hands with our hands to make a difference in the lives of others. As Christ Redeeming continued moving forward to advance the Kingdom of God, God continued to bless us to be a blessing to the community both naturally and spiritually. Some of the blessings have been through unseen and unknown avenues such as the Youth Community Activities, Jailhouse Ministry, Media Ministry and Pastoral Care. These led us to our first Baptismal Service on August 11, 2013.
As we continue to walk out the vision of this ministry, which is “to impact the lives of families in our community with the message of Jesus Christ who redeemed us with His blood and transforms lives through His word”, we look ahead into the future with anticipation and expectation to advance the Kingdom of God one community and one family at a time.
