Redeemer Lutheran Church was founded in 1986 to provide a central place of worship in Manchester, NJ and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the surrounding community.  The building was expanded in 1990 to include a Fellowship Hall and extra space for Sunday School activities.

We are part of the SELC District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS), a Bible-based, mission-oriented, confessional Christian denomination.  Our Church is founded upon the teachings of Martin Luther and is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.
