Servants Sharing Stories | Church of the Servant Wilmington

“Good stories surprise us. They make us think and feel. They stick in our minds and help us remember ideas and concepts in a way that a PowerPoint crammed with bar graphs never can.”
- Joe Lazauskas and Shane Snow, The Storytelling Edge

We all have stories to share. We meet others and create new experiences. We learn new things, venture into different territories, and gain new insight. Sometimes it means going beyond our comfort zone. Our stories paint a picture, evoke emotions, inspire others.

Here are just a few of the many stories our COS "servants" have to share.

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!
