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.

Read the current Vestry notes here.

Before you find out why you are being wished Happy Women’s Day this week, the Vestry is asking everyone to please make every effort to come to church this Sunday to welcome the Rev. Willie Smith.  We know it’s a holiday weekend, but we’d love to see as many smiling Redeemer faces as possible.  Thank you!

The Reverend Willie Smith will join us starting this Sunday, May 25th, for 2-3 Sundays per month  going forward. Willie and I go back to the 2010’s as we served together as “Canon’s Companions” when Canon Greg Jacobs served with Bishop Beckwith.  In that capacity, we met monthly to support the Canon in his life and ministry.  At every gathering, we shared the Eucharist with each of the “companions” providing unique liturgies so, rest assured, Willie is very familiar with Redeemer’s Seasons, language and Liberation Holidays.  Additionally, he co-led the Racial History Committee on the Diocesan level and was Rector of Trinity, Cliffside Park for a number of years.  He lives in NYC and is looking forward to joining us soon.  

Join us in extending a big Redeemer welcome to Willie!

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
