The Church of the Redeemer is one of two Episcopal parishes in the city of Orangeburg, South Carolina.

History

The first Anglican church in Orangeburg Township was established in 1749 by the Rev. John Giessendanner, and a chapel at Orangeburg was later provided by the Act of 1768, which created St. Matthew's Parish in Ft. Motte, South Carolina. Following a long dormant period, the Church of the Redeemer was organized. The current building was erected between 1854 and 1855 on Boulevard Street, near the corner of Amelia, where the cemetery remains. The structure, which features Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows, was moved to its present site, improved and renovated in 1895[1].
