⸺ what makes paradox unique

Church Values

Affirming LGBTQ+

At Paradox, we fully affirm and celebrate the image of God in all queer persons. We officiate queer weddings, ordain queer clergy, baptize queer folks, and welcome people to serve in every level of leadership at our church with full appreciation of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation.

Fighting Racism

At Paradox, we believe every person’s culture and religion is a unique and irreplaceable testament to the Divine. We invite speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds to teach us about God from the wisdom of their own sacred traditions, beautiful histories, and personal experiences.

Empowering Women

At Paradox, we strive to empower and celebrate women. Half of our Elder board is female (including our Head Elder), we ordain female pastors, we believe the feminine perspective is necessary to understand the divine, and we frequently use feminine pronouns to describe our infinite Creator.

FAQs

Find answers to commonly asked questions about giving.

  • We email a digital copy of your giving statement every year at the end of January for the previous year.

    If you would like to receive a giving statement before that time, more frequently, or a physical copy, just email info@paradoxredlands.com and we will be happy to assist you!

  • Mistakes happen all the time and just about all of them can be fixed.

    Just send an email to info@paradoxredlands.com.

  • While we appreciate the generosity behind this question, our Board of Trustees chose to have one general fund for Paradox Church.

    This allows all of the ministries to work in harmony and collaboration together, rather than in competition. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask Pastor Craig!

  • When you click on the link above to donate online, click on the drop down menu just below the dollar amount of your donation.

    From there, select the outreach opportunity you wish to support!

    If you don't see an outreach opportunity, it's because we are in a season in which we are not supporting a specific outreach opportunity (but it won't be long before we support another!). 

  • Yes! In order to do that, we have to do a few things on our end.

    For that reason, please email info@paradoxredlands.com if you are interested in donating stocks. Thank you so much for your support!
