Pastor Donnie C. Chambers’ vision for Red Hill is to rid itself of traditional rituals that have nothing to do with reaching souls for Christ but rather to develop and equip ourselves for witnessing and sharing the Word of God. He often reminds, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

3 John 1:2 lays out the order of our increase. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." Growth of our inner man everything else falls into place.
We strive to be an example of health as the children of Judah in the book of Daniel, who after 10 days countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
Duet. 28:3-6 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
