Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

The Church of the Redeemer is an Episcopal parish located at 1904 Popps Ferry Road in Biloxi, Mississippi, within the Diocese of Mississippi. Founded in 1849 under the Reverend Thomas S. Savage, it holds the distinction of being Biloxi's first Protestant church. The congregation was formally chartered in 1853 and admitted to the Diocese of Mississippi that same year, establishing a continuous ecclesiastical presence on the Gulf Coast that spans more than 175 years.

The parish's history reflects the resilience characteristic of Gulf Coast communities. Its chronicle runs from nineteenth-century founding through the devastating impact of Hurricane Camille and the long recovery that followed — a story documented in the congregation's own historical records and echoed in its parish profile. Today Redeemer continues that tradition of perseverance as an active worshipping community.

Sunday worship is offered in two eucharistic services: an early Rite I celebration at 8:15 AM (without music) and a Rite II service at 10:00 AM, reflecting the breadth of Anglican liturgical tradition. The parish is reachable by phone at 228-594-2100 and by email at officeofredeemer@gmail.com.
