Staff Headcount: 2 FT
Meet The Redeemed
In a world where many men feel isolated, discouraged, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges, The Redeemed offers a refuge. A place to connect with a Christ-centered brotherhood. Here, men from all walks of life can forge authentic relationships, engage in meaningful conversations, and walk together on the journey toward spiritual growth, healing, and purpose.
Our vision is simple yet powerful: to see men set free, redeemed through Christ, and living boldly as husbands, fathers, brothers, and leaders. We create space for men to openly share their struggles, doubts, and victories without fear of judgment. Whether you’re battling addiction, carrying emotional burdens, seeking deeper purpose, or simply looking for genuine brotherhood, this community is for you.
While our foundation is built on the redemptive grace of Jesus Christ, we welcome all men, regardless of faith background, to join us on this path. Redemption is not earned through perfection; it’s a gift that transforms lives, and that path is open to every man.

What it’s like to live in Columbus, GA (or Atlanta, GA)
The Redeemed is based in Columbus, Georgia, located along the Chattahoochee River on the Georgia–Alabama border. The area offers a strong sense of community, a relatively low cost of living, and a pace of life that appeals to families and professionals seeking balance. Columbus has a growing downtown district with restaurants, coffee shops, and a revitalized riverfront, along with one of the longest urban whitewater rafting courses in the world.
The region provides excellent access to outdoor recreation, including hiking, trail running, and water activities. Columbus is also home to Fort Benning, which contributes to a dynamic and diverse community, as well as many strong local churches and a vibrant faith community. The city is about 45 minutes from Auburn University, bringing additional cultural and athletic events, and is within 90 minutes of Atlanta.
For candidates preferring to be located in Atlanta, this major metropolitan area provides easy access to a major international airport, professional sports, and a wide range of cultural opportunities, while remaining close enough to collaborate effectively with the team in Columbus.
