Redeemer is a landmark in the Morristown community. Our diversity is our wealth. Our questions and dreams, rather than our answers, unite us.

A Space for Everyone

We were the first church in the state of New Jersey (in 1940) to host an AA meeting and are proud to have been blessing and marrying LGBTQ+ couples since 1991. But it doesn’t stop there! We have weekly Sunday worship, various activities and groups to join, and year-round community events.

Homecoming! Sunday, October 19th

Following the 10:30 service, we will gather to reconnect, enjoy each other’s company and share a meal together. It’s a pot luck event– bring something to share. We’ll have plates, napkins, cups, utensils, sandwiches (vegetarian and otherwise). We’d love for you to bring a side dish, drinks, desserts, etc. Can’t bring anything? We’re happy to have your company!


Dia de Los Muertos: 
Have someone you would like to honor who has died? We are looking for Redeemerites interested in planning an altar for our beloved dead as part of the Dia de Los Muertos festival of Morristown the weekend of 11/1-11/2. It is a Mexican tradition that correlates to our All Saints and All Souls feast days. We have enjoyed being part of it in the past few years. Please see Peg with questions and sign up on the sheet in the back of church.

Welcome!

All are welcome!

Welcome to Redeemer! We are not just a building in the community– we are a community! We gather online and in person for worship, in person to participate in activities like our Garden of Hope food security ministry or helping clean up the Whippany River, and online for lively book discussions and forward-looking racial and ethnic reconciliation work. I would love to welcome you at any of these things, and hear what you are looking for.

Yours in faith,
The Church of the Redeemer
