MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! The words that come to my mind at this

moment are the words those Hebrew pilgrims voiced as they ascended to the hills

of Jerusalem to worship. These are also the words that come to my mind around

this time every year, which says, “The Lord has done great things for us, where of

we are glad” (Psalms 126:3).

As I reflect on when and where this church started, I am immediately aware of the

fact that God has done great things for us as a body of believers. I am excited about

what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will do. Redeemer continues to be a church that is

in the Word, under the cross, ministering to the world.

I thank God for the founder, Rev. Joseph T. Kirkland and the few that gathered, met in homes, and shared

their meals with great joy and generosity―all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the

people. And each day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved. Acts 2:46-47 (NLT) Look

around and see what God has done.

To the leaders and members of this great church, I am privilege to lead you into the next chapter of our

church legacy. We are a unique church that has come this far by faith, prayers, commitment, fellowship

and hard work.

I also want to thank the 43rd Church Anniversary Committee and its chairperson for their commitment and

hard work in organizing and planning this outstanding celebration. Remember to be not weary in well doing

for it is promised that in due season you will reap if you faint not.

Let us pause and celebrate, as well as, thank God for glorious past, an enriching present, and a bright future.

Again, congratulations on this celebration.

HAPPY 43RD

CHURCH HISTORY

Reverend Joseph T. Kirkland

On Friday, September 30, 1966, a small group of Christians met, marking the beginning of something special

for us. The Church of the Redeemer Baptist was organized; a church that would spiritually, morally, socially,

educationally, economically, and politically, embrace and enrich the lives of humankind. A church that would

inspire man and have an impact that would elevate the community to a higher and nobler realm of living in

this world, and at that time Reverend Joseph T. Kirkland was elected pastor.

The first worship service was held on Sunday, October 2, 1966, at 1903 Federal Street. Services were held at

this location until May 1967, when we were able to share the facilities of Grace UAME Church at 19th and

Annin Streets.

On November 19, 1967, the congregation moved into its present site at 24th and Dickinson Streets. During that

year, the church also acquired a total of seven properties that were renovated, without the aid of government

assistance, for the purpose of helping to improve the community and to provide homes for families in need.

The Church of the Redeemer Baptist soon became known as the “friendly church” because of the warmth and

love everyone felt as they entered the doors. Because of the goodness of God and the steadfast Christian

dedication of the pastor, officers and members, the church grew spiritually, financially and numerically. The

members gave generously from their hearts to provide for the many needed articles for worship. The

membership grew to two hundred and sixty–six in number as well as our financial status. The congregation

continued to grow as Reverend Kirkland provided spiritual enrichment to the community. By the ninth year,

we were able to pay off the debts of the church.

During those years, four more houses were purchased and remodeled. In 1980, the church embarked upon a

project to build a Christian Educational Center to be located on Dickinson Street between the fourteen hundred

block of South Taylor and Ringgold Streets.

On March 22, 1982, the church’s sixteenth anniversary, our beloved pastor, Reverend Joseph T. Kirkland was

called home. We miss his dedicated and cheerful spirit, but we will not forget his dream

Reverend Gilbert G. Campbell, Jr.

In March of 1983, God sent us another shepherd. Reverend Gilbert G. Campbell, Jr. was elected pastor and

proved to be a good faithful leader. He built upon Reverend Joe’s dream to build a Christian Education Center

by having another set of blueprints drawn. Although, the past sixteen years were prosperous, they were

through the fundraising efforts of the membership. Reverend Campbell emphasized that the giving of “tithes”

was the way to support the building of God’s Kingdom. He enforced this position by stopping the fundraisers

and the selling of dinners at the church and called for the membership to tithe more. The church membership

and budget doubled. He implemented the payroll system for those who worked on a continuous basis at the

church. The first Young Adult Choir was organized under his leadership. In 1989, Reverend Campbell was

called to shepherd New Calvary Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia.

Reverend Tyrone E. Kilgoe

After a few months, in 1989, Reverend Tyrone E. Kilgoe was elected pastor. He also reinforced the policy of no

fundraisers and encouraged the membership to tithe. New Members Class, Follow-Up Ministry, Fellowship

Choir and the first Women’s Ministry headed by his wife, Sister Dana Kilgoe, were formed under his leadership.

“Faith is not just jumping to conclusions, but concluding to jump”, quoted Reverend Kilgoe. In 1991,

Reverend Kilgoe resigned, the church split and Reverend Kilgoe founded the New Comfort Baptist Church.

On that day in June of 1991, the remaining members were led in a prayer service by “our own” former

Chairman of Deacons, William Nicks, Sr. He spoke from Psalm 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd”. In the midst

of all the confusion, he called for those remaining members to stay strong in their faith and God will see us

through.

Reverend Theodore Jones was among the many preachers who fed us. He and Sister Jones endeared

themselves to Redeemer’s heart, until Pastor Wayne E. Croft started as interim pastor.

Reverend Wayne E. Croft, Sr.

God is still with us. There is a balm in Gilead that heals. A healing for your sorrow, spirit and soul, this was

Reverend Wayne E. Croft, Sr., “a little David” on fire of the Lord. After serving one year as interim pastor, in

June of 1993, he was elected pastor. He married the former Dr. Lisa Russell in that same year and is now the

father of three children, Darlene, Wayne, Jr. and Candace Nicole.

Now the membership and budget has quadrupled. The church has grown from one hundred, seventy-seven

(177) members to over one thousand, six-hundred (1,600) on the roll. He also reinforced the policy of no

fundraisers and tithing more to support the work of God’s Kingdom. He implemented the plan of having a set

budget for each ministry. The dream, for the first time, has taken on a visible form all its own. A model of the

building was made from the new blueprints of the multi-purpose Christian Education Center. On May 7, 2000,

we held our groundbreaking service and ceremony. The contractor began work on Tuesday, May 24, 2000.

On Sunday, October 7, 2001, The Church of the Redeemer Baptist celebrated thirty-five years (35) in ministry.

Among our many blessings was the Dedication and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the newly erected Redeemer

Christian Life & Education Center. This facility houses the office of Redeemer Renaissance Community

Develop Corporation (RRCDC) founded in November 1999 by Dr. Wayne E. Croft, Sr. It also houses our Day

Care, banquet hall, classrooms, computer labs and now our administrative offices.

Our first Associate Pastor and minister to be ordained here at Redeemer was Rev. John A. Croft, Sr. he later

became the pastor of Fellowship Christian Church Disciples of Christ. Other sons of Redeemer that are

spreading the Good News are Rev. Gregory Holston, pastor of St. Matthew United Methodist Church, Trevose,

PA and Rev. Jermaine T. Health, Sr., pastor of St. Paul’s Chapel Baptist Church, Philadelphia, PA, Minister

Carmena Pyfrom, who was the first woman to be licensed to the Gospel ministry here at Redeemer; and all were

licensed and/or ordained by Pastor Croft.

There are over thirty ministries working under the umbrella of God held by Pastor Croft. In the fall of 2001,

The Church of the Redeemer Baptist purchased 3.4 acres of land located at 25th/26th Dickinson and Reed

Streets in order to meet the growing needs of the church and community. On September 18, 2006, the first

class of the Redeemer Institute for Christian Education (RICE) was held.

Through God’s grace and mercy, yesterday brought us to today, and with continued faith, today will

take us to tomorrow.

“It doth not yet appear what we shall be.”
