Worship and Media
Randall Peters
Randall is the Worship Leader and Director of Media at Redemption Church. Since the age of 15, he has been passionate about leading others into worship and creating environments where people can be in the presence of Jesus. He believes in using the arts and technology (music, video, and social media) to help connect believers with each other and hearts to the Lord in powerful and unique ways.
Randall married his wife, Logan Peters, in 2013, and together they continue to grow in their faith and ministry. In addition to his role as Worship Leader, he manages all aspects of video editing, social media, and music for the church, dedicating his skills and heart to support the mission of Redemption Church.
Youth Leader
Brantley Mason
Brantley serves as the Youth Leader for both middle and high school students at Redemption Church. He also leads the Young Adults ministry and is
an active member of the worship team.
He and his wife, Rebecca Mason, were married in November 2024 and are newly married. Together, they are passionate about serving the next generation and building a strong foundation
of faith within the church community.
With several years of experience leading small groups for both middle and high school students, Brantley stepped into the role of Youth Leader at the end of 2023. His passion is to raise up the next generation—encouraging them to grow deeper in their faith, engage with the Word of God,
and walk boldly in their calling.
Bringing up the youth within Redemption is more than a role—it’s a calling to inspire, lead, and
disciple the leaders of tomorrow.
Kids Ministry
Sam serves as our Kids Ministry Leader, and his wife Morgan oversees our nursery and preschool rooms. Married in 2018, they are parents to four children who span from the classes they teach to our youth program. Sam feels a clear calling from the Lord to become a pastor, and his faithful leadership in guiding our children through biblical teaching, play, and consistent mentorship is one of the many ways God is preparing him for that journey. Morgan provides that same level of care and structure for our preschoolers, creating an environment where little ones feel safe, loved, and supported. Together, Sam and Morgan share the love of Jesus and the truth of God’s Word with our youngest generation, helping lay a strong spiritual foundation for the future
First Impressions
Terri Hilliard is a devoted wife, mother, and servant of God. She has been married to her husband, Mark, for twelve years, and together they share six adult children and five treasured grandsons. Terri and Mark are confident that God brought them together according to His plan, and their shared love for the Lord shapes every part of their lives. They are active members of the Redemption Church family and deeply value the community, support, and connection they have found there.
Terri has served in ministry for many years in a variety of roles, including working with middle and high school students, serving in administrative capacities, and participating in worship ministry. She now serves as Redemption Church’s First Impressions Lead, a role she believes God has intentionally called her to. Terri has a genuine heart for people and strives to reflect God’s love in every interaction. Her passion is to ensure that every guest and every member of Redemption Church feels welcomed, seen, loved, and part of a church family from the moment they arrive.
Under her leadership, the First Impressions Team continues to grow into a strong, unified group of individuals who share the same calling—to reflect the heart of God and create a warm, welcoming environment for all who walk through the doors of Redemption Church.
