History
In 1971 the church began meeting in Little Emmanuel Missions. Evangelist Evelyn Thomas and Elder John Williams were the co-founders of Redemption Missionary Baptist Church. In 1973 we were blessed with the existing building at 1510 2nd St. SW, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Elder Webb was the first Pastor. He pastored from 1973-2006. Elder B.E. Paige Jr. was asked to pastor the church, and he gladly accepted. In October of 2006, Elder B. E. Paige was installed as the 2nd Pastor of Redemption Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor Paige had many innovative ideas. Renovation began in the sanctuary and the fellowship hall. He pastored our church until May of 2009. June of 2009 began the Pastoralship of our 3rd and current Pastor Robert L. Green. He pushed for the completion of the building, by July 12th, 2009, we were back in the building and resumed to having worship services. Pastor Green was officially installed on July 19th, 2009 and is currently the Senior Pastor.
