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. Here is a note:  Easter Epistle. Rev. Willie Smith from Deacon Erik, My thoughts of transition at Redeemer_  HOLY WEEK BULLETINS: Maundy Thursday-3.26; Good Friday Bulletin-3.26; Easter Sunday Bulletin 4-26-2026

Contemporary Stations of the Cross at 3 PM. We are reimagining the Good Friday Stations of the Cross walk in light of ICE activity and more. To do this most effectively, we think going into the streets during daylight hours is best. Who among us might join us at 3 PM and take to the streets with Contemporary Stations of the Cross?  Meet in front of the church before 3 p.m. Here is the Walk map The Good Friday Walk 2026

There will be a Zoom option as well.
Followed by the Good Friday service at 6:30 p.m.

Welcome!

The Church of Redeemer with its sign and colorful flags out front on a clear sunny day.
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
