Bishop: Peter Piper

Pastor Peter Piper was born in Cochrane, Dominica to the late Joseph and Delina Piper.

He was raised in the village of Cochrane with his six brothers and one sister. At the age of 21, Peter gave his life to Christ. He was actively involved in the Roseau Pentecostal Church under the ministry of mighty men of God, such as Missionaries Dubrosky and Scheske, and Pastor James Belle.

He eventually enrolled in the West Indies School of Theology in Trinidad. In 1982, Peter married Yvonne Williams and they established ministry in Marigot, Dominica where they continued the ministry for eight years.

After several years of serving as the head pastors of the Marigot Pentecostal Church, in 1990, the Pipers migrated to the United States. There, Pastor Piper served as assistant pastor of Sisters of Zion in Newark, NJ. Following his tenure as the assistant pastor, Pastor Piper brought together the Dominican community in 1993 by establishing Redemption Tabernacle Pentecostal Church in Newark, NJ with the assistance of Minister Beverly Musgrave and the local Dominican community.

Currently, the Pipers live in Hillside, NJ and have expanded their family to four children: Dwight, Keron, Keon, and Yvanna, and their grandchildren.

Praise and Worship Director

The bible is replete with stories and examples where the Word of God is conveyed through music.

At Redemption Tabernacle, we understand the importance of being able to bring forth God’s word, not only by preaching, but also through worship by using music as a medium. As indicated in Psalms 150, praise and worship can be brought forth in a variety of ways. Here at Redemption, we use a variety of musical flavors to promote the delivery of the Word. Particularly, our music is highly influenced by the Afro-Caribbean culture due to the fact that the worship team, and the church on a wide scale, is made up of members who primarily originated from various parts of the Caribbean. Our music embraces the African beats coupled with different Caribbean music genres to exude energetic rhythms in worship. Our goal is to uplift and glorify God's name in songs and adoration, also ensuring that others get bless and delivered.
