Church of the Redeemer, Jamaica

The Church of the Redeemer stands at the intersection of North Street and Duke Street in Kingston, featuring traditional early 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture.

After the 1907 earthquake destroyed the original Moravian building on Hanover Street, the current Church of the Redeemer was constructed and consecrated in 1918.

The Church of the Redeemer serves as a central gathering point for the Moravian community in Kingston, continuing religious traditions established over a century ago.

The church maintains regular worship services and community events, with the Mary Morris-Knibb memorial hall providing additional space for congregational activities.

The church received its name from builder Jonathan Reinke specifically to prevent locals from calling it Reinke's church, marking an interesting origin of its designation.
