The Presbyterian Church in Morristown is led by committed members and professionals who believe in serving Christ and the community at large.
Rev. Daniel Vigilante is a lifelong Presbyterian – and the grandson of a Presbyterian pastor. He grew up in Morris Plains and graduated from Morristown High School in 1995. Discerning a call to ministry from an early age, he went straight to seminary after college, earning a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2004. He is currently working toward his Doctor of Ministry at Duke Divinity School. He has served congregations in New Jersey, California, and Minnesota.
Daniel has a heart for leading God’s people in worship that is engaging, approachable, and true to our Reformed tradition. His passion is to help churches grow in faith, in mission, and in number by reaching out and connecting with the community in new and dynamic ways – sharing the love of God in Jesus Christ in word and action.
When not in church, he loves to travel, hike, paint, read, cook, and snowboard. Daniel and his husband James are living in the manse here in Morristown and have two dogs named Freddie and Harry.

The ministry of the Board of Deacons is one of compassion, witness, service, and sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, or anyone in distress. Our deacons, who serve a three-year term, work with the staff to provide pastoral care and outreach to members who are homebound or have other needs that call for special attention.
An important part of Presbyterian tradition is to provide persons with particular gifts to share in discernment of God’s Spirit and governance of God’s people. The Session is comprised of those called into this ministry and elected as Elders. An Elder is a lay person charged with serving as an administrator or ordained to an office. They may also serve in preaching or pastoral roles. Together with the pastors, the Session governs the church, providing leadership, spiritual discernment, and guidance.
PCM has nine committees and each one plays a unique part in our life together. If one speaks to your passions or gifts, we’d love to invite you to explore and get involved! Whether you’re drawn to music, teaching, community, outreach, logistics, or anything in between, there’s a place for you to lead, love, and grow at The Presbyterian Church in Morristown.
