OUR HEART AND OUR HOPE
With humility and by God’s grace we exist to be a gospel-shaped community that celebrates and cultivates the love of Christ in the city of Wilmington, southeastern NC, and around the world.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US?
-
JESUS & ONE ANOTHER
Whether you have grown up in Church your whole life or Christianity is new to you, we want you to see and know the person of Jesus. His humility, his beauty, and his sacrifice. There is nothing better than knowing Christ! We think that knowing Christ leads to knowing one another. In our differences and similarities, genuine community comes through Christ!
-
BEAUTIFUL WORSHIP
We believe that worship is formative for all of life. God has graciously given us one day of the week to be strengthened by his grace together in worship. The songs we sing, the call and response flow of our services, and weekly taking the sacrament of communion together unite us with each other and with Jesus. Our services are modern and traditional, they are contemporary and historical.
-
CULTIVATING LEADERS
We are a church on mission and believe that God is using our diversity to bless our city and church community. We are committed to cultivating leaders within our church for the sake of the gospel and the betterment of our city. We want to create space to talk about faith and work, invest in next generation leadership, and establish programs that will enable people to grow as leaders with purpose, together.
-
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Spiritual formation (or Christian discipleship) is commanded in the Scriptures and is a blessing to each one of us. We want our members to grow in their intimacy with God, and to better understand their personal mission, gifting, and their story of grace. Our hope is that we would live by the presence of the Spirit and see ourselves as stewards of all that God has given to us.
-
MERCY & JUSTICE
The Scriptures call us to both mercy and justice. This happens within the church and within our city. We desire to care for our members as needs arise, invest in the places of our city that are often forgotten, love the least of these, and continually grow in our understanding of biblical justice. This requires humility and intentionality. This is driven by the gospel, not by political affiliation or cultural pressures on either side.

MISSIONS
DPC is a church that loves both local and global missions. We partner locally with Reformed University Fellowship (pictured above), YoungLife, and Vigilant Hope. We are connected with church planting all over the US through Leaders Collective and MNA. We are excited about partnering with missionaries through MTW and Serge all over the world. We pray that God would continue to send our people from DPC to share the good news of Jesus locally and globally.
