Types of churches in Redlands

Modern Redlands Churches

Contemporary congregations in Redlands emphasize band-led worship, casual dress, and practical teaching. Many meet near downtown State Street or along the I‑10 and Redlands Boulevard corridors, offering multiple services and strong kids’ programs for commuting families.

Redlands Young Adult Churches

With the University of Redlands anchoring the city, several congregations tailor services, small groups, and late‑evening gatherings for students and 20‑somethings. You’ll find walkable options near campus and downtown, plus bikeable access via the Orange Blossom Trail.

Historic & Liturgical

South Redlands neighborhoods like Smiley Heights and the areas around Prospect Park feature long‑established congregations with classic sanctuaries, choral music, and organ‑led worship. These churches reflect the city’s citrus‑era heritage and often host seasonal concerts that pair well with community traditions like Redlands Bowl summer events.

Spanish‑Language & Multicultural

Redlands’ bilingual life shows up in congregations offering Spanish‑language worship, translation headsets, and ministries for mixed‑language families. Many are clustered in North Redlands and near the I‑10 corridor, providing ESL classes, immigration support, and cultural celebrations that connect newer arrivals with long‑time Inland Empire residents.

Sermon clips from Redlands churches

75s
“We are part of God's creation. We're creatures. But on another side, we are invited into the first three day of creation of bringing order and blessing to the world. That God, who brought order that life may flourish, commissioned us to rule his creation. And rule, sometimes that's a little broken in our heads, what that means by rule. It doesn't mean dominate, exploit, and profit from. It means lovingly steward the good world that God has made. On the seventh day, rested. The last act of creation was separating the first six days of work from the seventh day of rest. And he said, the Sabbath, which you and I are right in the middle of, is a day of rest and enjoying the goodness of all that God has made.”
49s
“Because calling out injustice takes time and a lot of patience in God and in yourself. Justice, as frustrating as it can be, is not in our time, in his. And chapter three shows us that God has seen Moses and his self discipline, his passion, his passivity, reflection, even his self esteem possibly decreasing. We don't know exactly. And now it needs some direction, some true spiritual direction. God had seen Moses through it all, and just like Paul centuries later is asking to put that drive, that youthful drive he had into a collaborative effort.”
50s
“The primary thing that stops people from seeing God move miraculously, supernaturally in their life is because only a part of them is fully committed to the plan of God. But to seek God with all of your heart is a decision. There has to come a marked moment in your life when you say, God, I'm all in. Whoever you want me to be. The Bible says there is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof is death. The Bible says many are the plans of a man's heart, but it's the Lord who directs his steps. I would venture to say most everyone, if not everyone in this room today has plans.”
50s
“Now at this point, you may be hearing this and thinking to yourself, oh, Craig's just telling us to count our blessings. No. This is about something much bigger than that. It's about reclaiming the narrative of who we are because we hear all of these messages all the time about how everything's bad, everything's wrong, and you better just hang on, hope, and pray that you survive the next day. But when we shift the narrative to you are the recipient of $14,000,000,000 worth of blessings, by the fact that you are here, at that point, we are professing the age old Christian belief that God loved us first, that we are on this planet out of an act of love by God, and there is no limit to the love of our creator.”
39s
#DeepRootsInGodsWord
“``And as we're reading the Psalms and we're reading these word pictures, Becky did a great job of just talking about how do we maybe apply that to what we're doing. And I'm just gonna say, when life is not what you want it to be, and I know we have all been in those seasons, It is so easy to allow our circumstances to affect our emotion, to affect our understanding of what's going on, but what does the psalm say? You are gonna have deep roots into God's word, deep roots into truth so that you know no matter what is going on in these circumstances, you are in relationship with God, and you are kept by him.”
66s
“But thanks to God. He didn't leave us there, but he sent his son to us as a new Adam, to live as we were always intended to live, to be faithful to the goodness that God had made to bring healing, restoration, order, so that life flourish. If there's one that struck with me this week as I studied this text, to summarize it, what is the purpose of the world? Flourishing. That life may flourish. There's images of life spreading from into the chaos and disorder, into a world teeming with life. We were called to be fruitful and multiply. So thanks to the Von Pingles for doing that. It's good to have a a reminder of life flourishing and the goodness of God in in that.”
58s
“Remembering as we come to a place of worship, our calling, the invitation of God to join him in bringing order to the world, of joining in the blessing of the world. And in the disordered creation, in a space where the earth is not celebrated from the water or that the sky is not separated from the earth or any way that we live in perpetual darkness, anytime there's disorder, chaos, death come to us. when we sinned, when we stepped outside of the created order that God had made for us, when we decided we do not want to be creatures, and we do not want to join in any responsibilities that we might have to care for the world that you made for us, the exact same thing happened. Chaos and disorder came.”
37s
“So if you think about that, God does not think in his revelation of all the things God could have revealed in this, he emphasized the meaning and the purpose and the agent of creation, which is God. He did not add to them new scientific information so they could understand the physical world in the universe better. He didn't say, made all these things, and by the way, the stars are suns also. The earth has around it a layer that protects it from the vacuum of space and traps in heat so that and oxygen and other gases that we really, really need.”
48s
“Anger is quite similar. We see that when anger is not contained similar to fire, it affects a lot of people. People get hurt, people die, and the aftermath takes time. In the beginning of chapter three, there are no words that describe how God felt. We know a little later, but we know that this was also a buildup of pain, hurts, and solidarity for God too. Could we say that God maybe was presenting himself suffering in pain, in anger, in presence, holy still because it was holy ground.”
47s
“And so his courage and purpose to deliver the oppressed began here, not at the burning bush. Here. He was set apart since birth, but without god. There's a difference. We see that this deliverance is short lived and with harmful, harmful consequences. We need to know that justice without God is retaliation. Justice without God leads to more fear. And Moses instead of a deliverer here in this part of the story was now be being seen as violent with no credibility to his people and a criminal now according to the law.”
