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.

VESTRY NOTES – OCTOBER 4TH 2026
Starting this week, we’ll see a very subtle change in the name of our season as Creation becomes “In Gratitude for God‘s Creation”. This is in keeping with the national church’s decision that Creation Season ends on Saint Francis Sunday. Our liturgy will focus on everything we are grateful for from Redeemer, to the beauty of this earth are fragile Island home, to the creatures who walk this earth with us, to our community of faith and so much more. Join us as we walk in gratitude for all that is and all that will be. Thanks be to God.
The Book Group meets online at 7 pm
10/26 – THE COUNTRY PEOPLE – Daniel Mason
Joyous, absurd, and life-affirming, Country People is a luminous exploration of marriage and parenthood, the nature of belief and the power of stories, and the ways in which we find connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

Dia de Los Muertos: The Morristown community has invited us to celebrate the Mexican Dia de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead Festival on 11/1/2026, from 1-5PM, as we have done for three years now. Mark your calendars for this wonderful event! DdLM is distinct from Halloween, and coincides with our Feast of All Saints, and we will build an ofrenda/altar in church for our loved ones who have died. We invite you to participate in our ofrenda and in the walk around Morristown. It is a wonderful way to welcome visitors to Redeemer! To learn about Dia de Los Muertos, see https://tinyurl.com/5xbkntsx
We invite you to participate in the festival at Redeemer in some way, and we will need:
- Our ofrenda/altar set up in church for our beloved dead open to the public.
- Set-up will happen on Saturday, 10/31 in the afternoon (or morning.)
- Clean up & break down the altar in the evening after the open session on 11/1, Sunday.
- Redeemer welcomers/altar guardians for 1-2 hour shifts when we are open.
- Redeemerites who can share some edible hospitality.
- Redeemerites willing to bring framed photos/copies of your beloved dead to participate in the ofrenda, to bring to church on 10/31, or to be dropped off at the church office before then. A framed color copy works also.If you are not local, you may also email an image to office@redeemermorristown.org and we will print it out.
Please use the sign-up sheet in the back of church. Contact Peg for more info at pegonplanetearth(at)gmail.com
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, come together for activities like our Garden of Hope, our food security ministry, or helping clean up the Whippany River, and meet online for lively book discussions and forward-looking racial and ethnic reconciliation work. We would love to welcome you to any of these activities.
We look forward to hearing what you are seeking.
Yours in faith,
The Church of the Redeemer
