Our History -

Redemption Outreach Center (ROC) was founded in 1991 by Pastors Ron and Hope Carpenter. When the ministry began, there were only three members. The first service was held in a cinderblock warehouse on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. ROC met there for three years until God blessed them with their first building on 74 Byrdland Drive. Shortly after this relocation, the congregation grew to over 200 members.

With outreach as its focus, souls were being saved weekly. The church soon added a second Sunday service. The name Redemption Outreach Center was changed to Redemption World Outreach Center because the Church has extended its arms to people throughout the United States and the World. The current membership is in excess of 13,000.

In addition to weekly television programs, RWOC has received national attention for its innovative worship style. The Church was featured in the July 2001 issue of Charisma Magazine. The article was entitled, “Breakthrough in the Bible Belt.”

God has truly blessed the evangelistic ministry of RWOC where hundreds of souls are being brought into the Kingdom of God each year. RWOC is now holding services in it's 4,200 seat sanctuary, encompassing the international vision of this apostolic ministry.
