Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church: Wilmington, DE

What will the worship service be like?

Vibrant! The service begins as you enter the Sanctuary and prepare your hearts and minds for worship by greeting, sharing and laughing with one another. Or, you might choose to sit quietly and listen to the music. While all three worship services follow the same basic order, each has a distinct character. Try each of them out and decide which is best for you!  Services begin at 8:30, 10 am, and "The Cornerstone" starts at 6 pm.

What will the music be like?

Beautiful!  We do not limit our congregational music to any one style (traditional, contemporary, etc.), our talented music leaders employ excellent music of every genre as they weave the classics with new favorites.  On any given Sunday the music will be led by our pipe organ, Steinway piano, acoustic guitars, flute, or voices alone.  "The Cornerstone" (6 pm) is led by our unique worship band.

How long are the worship services?

All of the services usually last about an hour.

What should I wear to Red Clay?

Wear whatever makes you comfortable. You will see men in suits and ties as well as golf shirts and slacks. You will see women in dresses as well as slacks. “Mortals look on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

Do I have to be a member of Red Clay to take Communion?

No. This is not our table; this is Christ’s table! All baptized men, women and children are invited to celebrate the sacrament.

Where do my children go during the worship service?

All children may attend the various worship services with their parents, though our children’s ministry does provide an exciting experience for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and boys and girls of all ages.  Sunday School is offered during the 10:00 AM service and children are dismissed from the sanctuary early in the worship service following the "Children's Moment".  On your first Sunday at Red Clay, we strongly encourage parents to accompany their children to their classes. We want to make sure they feel comfortable and secure!  Children are invited to worship with their parents at "The Cornerstone" (6 pm).

Where do I park?

We have three lots at Red Clay.  There is a small lot near the stop light for the intersection of Mill Creek and McKennan's Church Road.  The entrance for the main lot is on Mill Creek Road.  An overflow lot sits behind the cemetery off of McKennan's Church Road with a very short walk through the cemetery to get to the church.  If you are running late for the second service, you will want to plan to use this lot!  Handicapped parking spots are designated in our main parking lot.
