Redeemer is a landmark in the Morristown community. Our diversity is our wealth. Our questions and dreams, rather than our answers, unite us.
Church of the Redeemer
Celebrating Love. Doing Justice.
Who We Are
We seek a world where ALL of God’s creation is celebrated and cherished.
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.

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS – Join us at 10:30 a.m. for the service or immediately after.
The first Sunday of Creation is Animal Blessing Sunday! It is a time when our four-legged, scaley, winged, stuffed, and water-bound pets are blessed acknowledging the joy and wonder they bring to our lives. You may bring them in on lead (with a sheet to cover the pew cushion if they shed), or in a container or carry them or have their picture with you. Just, please make sure they are safe in the chaos and cacophony of others in the space. Whenever possible, the blessing takes place on the front lawn, and we have even had dogs being walked join in for a blessing! For those on Zoom, when the time comes, you can hold them up as a photo or in your arms and they will receive a blessing from our celebrant, the Rev. Elizabeth Wigg-Maxwell. They bring us pure joy and I look forward to seeing them in all their glory.

Welcome!
The Rev. Cynthia Black, D.D., Rector (Retired)
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
