Church and God have always been a part of Morley’s life. In his eyes, church provides a sense of community and family where one feels safe and loved. It is the abiding presence of God that holds everything together. Reverend Morley attended Saint Joseph’s University and received a BS in psychology and departmental honors in theology, where he experienced God in the ritual, art, gesture and sacrament of the regular celebration of the Holy Eucharist. It changed his life forever, and that experience helped bring him into the Episcopal Church, where he heard a call to ordained ministry. Morley received his master of divinity in 2002 from The Candler School of Theology at Emory University and became an ordained priest in the same year.

The experiences of being an area missioner for western Maryland, marriage, parenthood and being priest and pastor to the people continue to shape his understanding of God in Christ. For Morley, it’s the relationship with God and Christ that matters. Morley wants to help others to desire and delve into their own unique, authentic, intimate relationship with God, too. Reverend Morley wants to help inspire people to become disciples of Jesus and to inspire disciples to become apostles. Reverend Morley lives in Basking Ridge with his loving wife and two daughters.

He has served as pastor for several churches, and since 1999 has served as the senior pastor at Somerset Hills Baptist Church in Basking Ridge. Pastor Harvey has volunteered and served in many leadership roles, including the leadership team of the North Jersey Network of Churches since 2008 and as executive board member of the Baptist Convention of New York (BCNY) since 2003. He currently serves as chairman of BCNY.

Pastor Harvey seeks to lead others to Christ by sharing his faith, encouraging people to fellowship with other Christians through membership, maturing the body of Christ through discipleship, equipping others for ministry through the discovery of their spiritual gifts and motivating them in mission involvement through exalting God in worship. He is called to serve as a pastor in an evangelical Christian church, using his skills in leading, administering, preaching/teaching, counseling and discipline. Pastor Harvey resides in Basking Ridge with his wife of 32 years, and they have a son and daughter.
