New Leadership Coming To Presbyterian Church In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ – July 29, 2022– The Presbyterian Church in Morristown is pleased to announce the appointment of two new ministers to the historic congregation. On June 26, the congregation voted to approve the Reverend Daniel Vigilante as our new Senior Pastor and Head of Staff. The church has also appointed Audrey Webber as Covenant Supply Associate Pastor.

Rev. Vigilante was raised in the Presbyterian Church of Morris Plains and graduated from Morristown High School. He comes to us with an impressive leadership record at St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, CA, Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, and Grace-Trinity Community Presbyterian Church, also in Minneapolis. Daniel will be consulting with our staff during this transitional period and will take over leadership on September 1, leading his first full service on September 11. We look forward to Daniel’s leadership with great joy and excitement.

“Daniel is a skillful and passionate preacher, able to make the message in Scripture come alive with relevance for our 21st century lives. Throughout the interview process, Daniel impressed the PNC (Pastor Nominating Committee) with his deep and authentic faithfulness, as well as his optimism, energy, and high emotional intelligence, qualities that will serve him well as he manages the competing priorities of our congregation,” says Bob Spurr, co-chair of the Pastor Nominating Committee.

Our new Covenant Supply Associate Pastor Audrey Webber joined the staff on July 25. Her focus will be on pastoral care and mission. She is passionate about pastoral care and hospitality and is on a mission to use creative ways to connect with our loving God and one another. She is committed to leading the church in finding new and innovative initiatives to help communities feel welcome and cared for, while retaining the tradition and extensive resources the church has to offer. She is also committed to using the arts in pastoral care as well as in worship and programming. She has had the opportunity to combine these interests in her work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, The First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York, and through leading workshops about spirituality and the arts.

The Presbyterian Church in Morristown is thrilled about the future of the church.

Finally, the church is deeply grateful for the leadership of Interim Senior Pastor Leslie Dobbs-Allsopp, who has guided the church during this transition period.
