Middle & High School Formation | Church of the Servant Wilmington

ILLUMINATE is our program for middle and high school students. This engaging Sunday School program allows our youth to delve deeper into each week’s gospel reading (using the Episcopal Digital Network's "Lesson Plans that Work") and consider how it applies to daily life. Illuminate creates space for open conversation with peers and adults, to explore what it means, and what it looks like, to be followers of Jesus. In addition to being a fun way to spend time with church friends, it also provides a foundation for their personal faith journey. We gather in the youth room at 9:45am.

Periodically we offer a separate class for our high school age students so they can learn more about the Episcopal tradition and discern if they would like to claim for themselves - through Confirmation - the vows made for them at their Baptism.

Prophets among Us: Offering Youth Space to Live into Prophetic Witness

Laying on your side. Waltzing around naked. “Belting your cloak” (hiking up your pants) and outrunning a horse and chariot. Eating scrolls. On the surface, biblical prophets are, in a word, odd.

What are you looking for?

These are the first words spoken by Jesus in John’s gospel, directed to a seeker named Andrew. We are all seekers, and while we may not know how to express what it is we’re looking for, we trust that we’ll know it when we see it.

At Church of the Servant, we seek, serve, and celebrate God and each other in a safe and accepting community. We welcome people from various backgrounds and ethnicities, those who are straight, LGBTQ, married, partnered, single, from other denominations and faith traditions, life-long Episcopalians, brand new to church or returning to church after a long absence.

Learn More About Worship

Who we are…

We are an inclusive group of people searching for spirituality and meaning in our lives.
We honor people for who they are and where they are in their lives.
We live our lives in thanksgiving for the love that God has bestowed on all creation, rather than live our lives in order to earn that love.
We are a growing church filled with love and creativity.
We work together, play together and search together.

God is present in every occasion of our lives. Together we mark these special times with celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives.

Baptism Confirmation Weddings Funerals

Though not like a social or professional organization, the Episcopal Church does have membership criteria. These aren’t meant to say who is "in" or who is "out", but instead, to establish who has taken an intentional step to be part of a worshiping community and who is either still discerning, or someone we should invite to join us on this faith journey!
