Our Story

French Valley House of Redemption Church is entering a new season of leadership with a vision birthed through prayer, obedience, and a burden for the spiritual condition of our region.

Before relocating to Kentucky, the Lord began placing a deep burden on our hearts for Russell County, Adair County, and the surrounding communities. Through traveling ministry, we witnessed hundreds of lives impacted by the Gospel: people surrendering their lives to Jesus, testimonies of healing, deliverance, and families being restored.

Yet in the midst of traveling and ministering, the Lord began stirring something greater within us: a desire not only to see people encounter God in a moment, but to see them discipled, established in the Word, and equipped to live victorious Christian lives.

When the opportunity came to pastor French Valley House of Redemption Church, we recognized an opportunity to respond to that calling.

We are not simply building a Sunday gathering. We are answering a call to reach a region with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our leadership

Pastor Joshua Huffman and his wife, Mikalyn, have answered the call of God to serve French Valley House of Redemption Church.

Our pastoral leadership operates under the spiritual accountability, mentorship, and apostolic covering of Apostles Jack and Christina Osteen through Burning Place Ministries Network. We are committed to the biblical model of apostolic leadership, spiritual oversight, and godly accountability.

Through intentional relationships, discipleship, and Kingdom alignment, we believe in cultivating strong, healthy, Spirit-led leadership that advances the Kingdom of God, strengthens the local church, and equips believers to fulfill their God-given calling.

We also believe that the Kingdom of God is greater than denominational boundaries. Our desire is to build meaningful relationships with other Bible-believing churches and ministry leaders who share a passion for Jesus Christ, biblical truth, and seeing communities transformed by the Gospel.

    Joshua Huffman

    Pastor

    My name is Pastor Joshua Huffman, and alongside my wife, Mikalyn, we have answered the call of God to serve French Valley House of Redemption Church.

    My testimony is one of radical redemption, restoration, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

    There was a time in my life when I was bound by addiction, brokenness, and destructive decisions. I experienced homelessness and seasons where my life seemed beyond repair. But Jesus Christ met me in my brokenness, delivered me from bondage, and began restoring what sin and destruction had taken from my life.

    I do not preach redemption as a theological concept alone. I preach it because I have personally experienced the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.

    The Lord placed a calling upon my life to preach the uncompromised Word of God, proclaim freedom to the captives, minister healing to the sick, and equip believers to walk in their identity and authority in Christ.

    My wife and I are not interested in building a platform or establishing a personality-driven ministry. Our desire is to serve people, exalt Jesus Christ, preach His Word faithfully, and raise up believers who will carry the Gospel into their homes, communities, and beyond.
