About Us

Who We Are

A Spirit-filled community rooted in the Apostolic Faith, committed to the Word of God and the love of Jesus Christ.

Our History

Our Story

The United Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith was founded on the unshakeable foundation of God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. Our congregation has been a beacon of faith, hope, and love in the Wilmington, Delaware community.

From our earliest days, we have been committed to one mission: teaching and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world as He commanded. We are a family of believers who have answered the call to be witnesses for Him — in our city, in our nation, and to the ends of the earth.

Today, we continue that legacy with the same fire and conviction, welcoming all who are seeking truth, community, and a life transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.

Statement of Faith

What We Believe

Our faith is grounded in the Holy Scriptures. These are the core beliefs that guide our worship, our teaching, and our lives.

The Bible

We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God — the supreme authority for all matters of faith and practice.

One God

We believe in one God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily (Colossians 2:9).

Repentance

We believe that repentance — a sincere turning away from sin toward God — is the first step in receiving salvation (Acts 2:38).

Baptism in Jesus' Name

We believe in water baptism by full immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, as commanded in Acts 2:38.

The Holy Ghost

We believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost, with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4).

Holy Living

We believe that those who are born again are called to live holy, separated lives — reflecting the character of Christ in all things (1 Peter 1:15–16).

The Second Coming

We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ — the resurrection of the dead and the eternal life of the redeemed.

The Church

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, fellowship, teach, and reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Mission

"Teaching and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world as Jesus has commanded us. We worship and praise our Lord according to His Holy Word, being witnesses for Him."

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." — Matthew 28:19
