Our Mission
As a community of believers in Wilmington, NC, we are called to share the love of Christ with all people, to serve our neighbors with compassion and justice, and to provide a welcoming and safe environment for spiritual growth and fellowship. We are committed to being a beacon of hope and transformation in our community, and to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ through worship, education, and service.
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
~ Matthew 28:16-20

LEARN MORE
We gather each Sunday as a United Methodist Church in Wilmington, NC to worship God and grow in our faith together. Sunday worship is a time for us to come together as a community to offer praise and thanksgiving to God, to hear and reflect on God’s word, and to support and encourage one another in our spiritual journeys. It is also a time for us to participate in the sacraments of baptism and communion, which are central to Christian belief and practice. Through Sunday worship, we are reminded of the love, grace, and presence of God in our lives and are equipped to serve and witness to God’s love in the world.
