We believe worshiping God is a journey that changes us from the inside out. As followers of Jesus Christ, we desire to make worship a part of our everyday lives. Our worship services are prayerfully designed to inspire encounters with God that will bring us deeper into our faith. Join us each week for worship ONLINE or IN-PERSON.
Modern Worship
9:00 am | Sanctuary
Led by the Worship Team and Senior Pastor in our historic sanctuary, our modern worship is relevant, biblical teaching in a warm and safe space that invites you to see God in the past, present, and future.
Visit FBC Wilmington on Spotify and YouTube for a playlist of songs we are currently using in worship.
Traditional Worship
11:00am | Sanctuary
Both reverent and inspiring, the pipe organ, hymns, litanies and symbols of the Christian faith help lead us to encounter God. Led by our Chancel Choir and Senior Pastor in our historic sanctuary.
Each of our worship services has a distinct worship style and is approximately one hour long. The teaching is the same, and both services are held in our beautiful and historic sanctuary.
In addition to engaging worship music and Bible-based teaching with real life application, we also offer opportunities throughout the week for you to grow in relationships and partner with others to make a difference in our community and world.

Children are a vital part of our worship. We celebrate inter-generational worship and intentionally seek to engage children in kindergarten through 5th grade in worship. There are regularly scheduled children’s sermons, baptisms and parent child dedication services. To help young children engage, we offer worship bags filled with activities to help your children focus during the worship services. These bags are located at the entrances to the sanctuary.
Preschool children, infants to four-year-olds, will receive excellent care in age specific classrooms during worship. We provide a caring environment specifically tailored to the age of your children and we staff our nursery rooms with caring professionals and dedicated volunteers who have been screened rigorously.
The preschool hall with classrooms for infants through four-year-olds is located directly behind the sanctuary; our door greeters will direct you to this area where you will be met by a childcare host.
We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all of our children.
Nursery workers, worship care volunteers, and teachers all have been screened, background checked and trained in our child protection and safety policies.
