Who We Are

Church of the Redeemer is about the work of justice and peace through the Realm of God as shared with the world by Jesus the Christ. We are a congregation of the United Church of Christ (www.ucc.org). We share in ministry with other UCC churches as part of the Harrisburg Association and Penn Central Conference (www.pccucc.org).

In 2018 we celebrated 60 years of ministry in Hershey. Church of the Redeemer was consecrated as a mission congregation of the Evangelical and Reformed Church as members of the former Union Deposit Union Church joined with other committed Christians to become a congregation of the newly formed United Church of Christ in October, 1958.

We embrace who we are as Christ’s disciples in the midst of this complex world. Church of the Redeemer does that through innovations in worship and music, through engagement with the community and bold decisions about extravagant welcome that furthers Christ’s mission.

MISSION STATEMENT
