Meet Our Founding Pastors
Joe and Linda Britto: Faithful Servants in Ministry
Married since 1982, Pastors Joe and Linda Britto founded Redeeming Family Church. Parents to three adult children and grandparents of ten, their ministry journey began after graduating from Rhema Bible School in 1996. Answering God’s call, they returned to New Bedford to establish a church rooted in faith and love.
Starting in a local elementary school, they trusted God’s provision and have seen His faithfulness in growing the church. Dedicated to sharing God’s Word and helping the hopeless, the Brittos spread a message of healing, transformation, and God’s unwavering love. They feel blessed to serve their community and fulfill God’s purpose.
With God, all things are possible!
