Christ Our Redeemer AME Church

Christ Our Redeemer AME Church Christ Our Redeemer African Methodist Episcopal Church (COR) is the largest A.M.E. Church in Orange County. Presently, over 2,000 multi-racial members. Mark E.

Since 1991, over 3,700 men, women, and children have connected with COR to belong to an ethnically diverse group of congregants seeking to shape their behavior in line with their belief in Jesus, Christ as their Lord and Savior. On Sunday, February 3, 1991, Rev. Linda Parker, Gwen Oden, and 25 other believers founded COR on the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus under the auspices of th

e African Methodist Episcopal Church, Fifth Episcopal District. Led by a series of pastors (Rev. Douglas Patterson, Rev. Parcel Hector, Rev. Crystalline Weaver, and Rev. Edgar Jones), from 1992 through 1998, COR moved to various Orange County locations. Breaking the string of pastors in August 1998, Rev. Whitlock, Jr. was appointed to lead COR and its 10-member congregation where they moved to Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in Irvine and worshiped at 3P on Sundays. COR eventually was blessed to purchase its own facility at 46 Maxwell, and later 45 Tesla, Irvine California. In October, 2019, Reverend Dr. Ralph E. Williamson was appointed pastor at COR. Rev. Williamson had previously been pastor at FAME Las Vegas over the last 16 years. Williamson led COR through the difficult year of 2020 which included several crises; COVID-19 pandemic, Economic collapse, and civil and political unrest.
