Newark Wesleyan Church

About this church

Newark Wesleyan Church is a small congregation at 708 W. Church Road in Newark, Delaware, that gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., in person and online. Services last about an hour and blend contemporary and traditional styles, with contemporary worship music and practical teaching rooted in Scripture. The church is part of the Wesleyan Church and points to its Wesleyan heritage, including an emphasis on God's grace and on the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. It began in the 1940s as a Sunday School and prayer gathering in a Newark home and later built the sanctuary used today.

Kids ministry runs alongside the Sunday service for children from infancy through fifth grade, and LIFT Youth serves grades 6 to 12. Adults can join a women's group that meets the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m., a men's group that meets the second and fourth Thursdays at 6:30, and a seniors small group that meets Sundays at 9:00 a.m. before the service, with periodic luncheons. A young adult small group is open to ages 18 to 27. YouPartner is a 90-minute class on the history and vision of the church, and Practicing the Way is an eight-week course on following Jesus in daily life. Volunteer serving opportunities are listed on the Get Connected page.
