Redeemer Church has a congregational form of church government led by elders. These men will shepherd and oversee the church, seeking to provide protection, guidance and biblical teaching for the church. The church members make up the primary decision-making body in the congregation.

We are trusting God to have a plurality.

Jim Reger, Pastor

Jim entered the ministry in 2012. At the time, Jim and his wife were invited to be International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention missionary candidates while simultaneously Jim was asked to fill the youth pastor position at their church. The Lord led him to pastor the youth and build awareness and passion for serving him here and abroad. In 2014, Jim stepped down as youth pastor to complete seminary and pursue missions full-time. He then had the incredible opportunity to train pastors overseas as part of theological famine relief.  Jim witnessed brothers overseas boldly proclaim Christ, and he wants to spread the same passion in King George County for treasuring Jesus Christ and proclaiming him as the focus, peace, and joy of life.

Jim graduated from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree. He is a NAMB and SBCV church planter. And he formerly served as an elder at Covenant Community Church until he was sent out to plant Redeemer Church. He served in the US Marine Reserves, with a tour in Iraq, and was a corporate executive for 14 years. Jim has been married to his wife, Christian, since 2000, and they have 5 children.
