Our Pastors
Pastor PJ Rhinehart
Founder & Lead Pastor
Pastor PJ Rhinehart is a visionary leader, passionate worshipper, and dedicated servant of God. Born and raised in the DMV area, he is the son of Bishop Paul Rhinehart, Sr., and Executive Pastor Stacey Rhinehart. Pastor PJ graduated from Gwynn Park High School in Brandywine, MD, and began his collegiate journey at Morgan State University before transferring to Livingstone College in 2006, following his father’s pastoral appointment in Salisbury, NC.
That same year, Pastor PJ stepped into ministry leadership as the Minister of Music at Yadkin Grove Missionary Baptist Church. In 2016, he returned to the DMV and continued serving as Minister of Music at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church under Pastor Freddie Davis.
In 2018, God placed a burden on Pastor PJ’s heart to launch Thursday Night Thrust Bible study, designed to minister to musicians who often serve without being spiritually poured into. This gathering became a movement of healing and deliverance, ultimately birthing Life Redemption Church. Pastor PJ’s mission is to reach the lost, the mishandled, and the seeking, helping them discover the redemptive power of Jesus Christ and the truth that every life has a second chance.
