Redemption Church began in 1989 at Point Grey Community Church (PGCC), which would plant UTown Church at the University of British Columbia in 2006, and More Than 12 Church in the Commercial Drive area of East Vancouver in 2008. More Than 12 Church became independent in 2010 and continues to serve God in the lower mainland. PGCC and UTown came together at the Collingwood location in the summer of 2012, worshipped at the Hollywood Theatre under the name Church at the Hollywood until returning to the Collingwood location in Nov. 2013. The church was renamed “Redemption Church” in Sept. 2014.
