About us
Redeeming Grace Chapel began in August 2016 at our current location with a burden to see a strong, Full Gospel congregation established in Bardstown and Nelson County. From the beginning, the vision was simple: to faithfully preach the Word of God, point people to Jesus Christ, and build a church family grounded in truth and grace.
What began with a small group of believers gathering together in faith and prayer has grown into a church committed to proclaiming the Gospel and helping people grow in their walk with Christ. Through the years, the Lord has blessed Redeeming Grace Chapel with new families, answered prayers, new believers, and opportunities to minister throughout the community.
The focus of Redeeming Grace Chapel has remained the same—clear Bible preaching, wholehearted worship, genuine Christian fellowship, and a heart for reaching others with the Gospel.
Today we continue to serve Bardstown and Nelson County with the same vision that began in 2016: to see lives changed through the power of God’s Word, the saving grace of Jesus Christ and power of the Spirit.
