Pastor Dale is a humble man of God. He shares the gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that even a child can understand. He's not only a preacher, but he is more of a teacher of the word. I'm so very thankful to God for sending him and his family to Gaithersburg to further the Kingdom of Heaven 🙏

It’s my home church since 1997; love how our Pastor Dale O’Shields teaches the words of God to me and my family and blessed my 29 years of marriage to my loving husband. My two girls, my husband and I surrender and accepted Jesus Christ as our savior in this church, our lives have been blessed all these years. I’m praying for Pastor Dale and Church of The Redeemer and the congregation. Blessings.

I took my daughter for Mother’s Day. It was our first time attending and years back, I heard such fantastic messages from a couple of acquaintances who were really moved by the pastor. I was looking forward to it. The theatre style production was a bit much for my comfort, loud and it must be expensive to own and maintain such equipment. The sermon was lead by a daughter of the pastor who advised how to make donations right after introducing herself. She delivered a message that was disheartening about how women are designed to be man’s helper. We aren’t designed to tire or cultivate an empty well. If we feel that way, find a Godly woman to remind you of how you’re designed and lean into the community of other Godly women who get things done with endless love and grace. There was no mention that I recall of the role of the men being helped in the process. Her sermon concluded with how to give money. It was made very clear that everyone needs to give financially no matter their circumstances, in the spirit of faith. It’s my understanding from Judaism that it’s a sin for a house of worship to take money from the poor. I haven’t heard of Jesus disputing that, not that I’m a scholar. I am aware they’re active in the community with a generous spirit but this church is not for me.
