We’re really glad you’re here!

Welcome to Redeem Church! We are a brand new church launching in the Bassendean area in 2025. We have a heart to reach this area of Perth with the gospel and to build a genuine, gospel centred community.

Our Mission

  • Worship God

    15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

    Colossians 3:15-17 NIV

  • Equip the Saints

    11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

    Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV

  • Reach the World

    19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

    Matthew 28:19- 20 NIV

Our Values

Relationship

We value building genuine gospel centred community, built on a foundation of love for God first, and love for one another. Jesus said in Mark 12:30-31 “You must love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind and all of your strength and love your neighbour as yourself.”

Empowered

We value living in the power of the Holy Spirit. The bible says “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”. Walking in the Spirit means to live a life that depends on the Spirit’s power to grow in godliness, obey God’s commands and experience increasing closeness with God.

Discipleship

We value being disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. A disciple is someone who follows Jesus, learns from and lives by his teachings, is being changed and formed by the Him, and is deeply committed to fulfilling His mission to make disciples of others. Very simply, we are disciples who make disciples.

Evangelism

We value actively sharing the gospel, the good news about Jesus, in word and deed. It says in 2 Timothy 4:5 that followers of Christ are to “do the work of an evangelist.” We don’t see evangelism as the work of the few, but an active responsibility of all believers.

Engaged

We value using our unique gifts, talents and abilities to serve and build up the body. As it says in 1 Peter 4:10 “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” The gifts we have been given are to be used for the benefit of others and to bring glory to God.

Missional

We value being on mission and actively fulfilling the Great Commission from our own backyard to the ends of the earth. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

Our beliefs

Redeem Church is affiliated with Acts Global Churches, a denomination within the Pentecostal tradition that began in Wales in the early 1900s. This global denomination upholds the early creeds of historic Christianity and aligns with orthodox Christian doctrine.

Our Senior Pastors

G’day! We’re Tim and Mel Ballantyne and we are the Senior Pastors of Redeem Church. We have a heart to reach people with the gospel, to see the kingdom expand, and to build genuine and authentic community.

In 2023, we both felt a strong conviction from the Lord to plant a church in the Ashfield / Bassendean area of Perth, WA. At the time, we had been serving for 10 years as the pastor’s of Dreambuilders Perth, a vibrant and growing church located in the Swan Valley and Malaga, a community we had been a part of for 24 years. However, we just couldn’t shake the sense that God was calling us to transition the leadership of Dreambuilders Perth, and pioneer something new. We submitted our conviction to our senior leaders as well as to the national leadership team of our denomination, who also agreed that this was the Lord’s leading. On September 15 2024, our senior leaders prayed and released us, our family, and a team of 30 beautiful people to pioneer a new apostolic initiative, that is today, Redeem Church. This is a new work, one we believe is the start of something really special in our city.
