Minnesota church finally has a place to call home

In its five-year history, Redemption City Church in Rochester has met in a building of another church, a middle school, an industrial shed, a parking lot and a hotel ballroom.

Redemption City Church, led by Pastor Jake Tonak and Adam Pohlman, recently purchased the former Bethany United Methodist Church building as its permanent home, the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist reported.

Redemption City Church leaders believe being permanently rooted in a community will have a generational impact on the community.
