Assessment

Redeeming Grace Church Fairfax was formed in 2021 through the merger of Sojourn Church Fairfax (Justin Pearson, planted 2012) and Redeeming Grace Church Fairfax. It is affiliated with the SBC of Virginia, grounding it in the Southern Baptist Convention's confessional framework (Baptist Faith & Message 2000). Justin Pearson planted and pastored Sojourn Fairfax through the Acts 29 and Sojourn Network. The merger created a stronger combined congregation in Fairfax County. SBC affiliation provides meaningful confessional accountability — BF&M 2000 affirms biblical inerrancy, complementarian gender theology, and exclusive salvation through Jesus Christ. For a man in the Fairfax/Burke/Springfield area wanting a SBC-affiliated, Gospel-centered church with solid preaching and discipleship culture, RGC Fairfax is a solid recommendation. Verify current elder structure and men's ministry programs directly.
