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

What We Do

Sunday Services

We gather each Sunday to worship our Lord, come together as a body, grow in our faith, and to hear and reflect on God’s Word.

Community

We seek to build and foster a strong loving community. From organizing social events, supporting one another through difficult times, and working together to serve the needs of others.

Spiritual Growth

We are called to make disciples. We offer a variety of educational and spiritual growth opportunities for people of all ages. This include Sunday school classes, small groups, and retreats.

Mission & Service

We participate in local & global outreach activities. This includes our partnership with homeless minstries, community gardens, supporting missionaries, and more.

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.
