The Church of the Redeemer

Who's Who

Meet our bishops and some of the folks who work to keep the parish going and assist in Divine Worship.

At Redeemer we believe that every Christian is called to ministry.

The Clergy may have a particular level of responsibility and authority, but the Laity are as much Ministers as the Clergy. We all must answer Christ's call to disciple the nations and to meet the needs of the world with God's love.

The Right Reverend Peter Manto

Bishop Peter Manto became the Bishop Ordinary of the Diocese of Central States of the Reformed Episcopal Church on January 1, 2020. He is a gracious man whose leadership we respect and trust... even though he's from New Jersey.

The Right Reverend Dan Morse

Bishop Dan Morse became, as of January 1, 2020, the Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Central States in the Reformed Episcopal Church. He is the bishop who received and ordained our pastor and confirmed our first members. He was our diocese's founding Missionary Bishop and its first Bishop Ordinary. He was a dear over-shepherd of this flock, and we love him.

The Reverend Doctor Paul Edgerton

Father Paul is our pastor. He began his ministry in another tradition and was received in the Reformed Episcopal Church in 2008, the year he founded this mission. Christie is his sweet and intrepid wife, and Isaac, Elizabeth, and Josiah are his children.

Tyler is our Senior Warden, pianist and assistant worship director. He has been at Redeemer since its old days as a Bible study in Fr. Paul and Christie's living room. His playing, arranging, and writing are true gifts. His discernment and heart for worship is extraordinary.

Ryan Mercer

Ryan worshiped with us as a college student and has been with us in every venue we've inhabited. He is the ultimate servant leader, though - of course - he doesn't think so. He is the Junior Warden and serves on the Worship Guild as Lead Acolyte and does a lot more that he doesn't want mentioned here.
