"Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me."

- Matthew 25:45

NCPC is a Matthew 25 Congregation, committed to building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty. Or as Jesus put it: loving our neighbors, especially our neighbors in need, as ourselves. Here are the mission partners that we serve alongside to share the love of Jesus:

FRIENDSHIP HOUSE

We serve meals at shelters and donate to clothing- and sock-drives for Friendship House Clothing Bank.

Proceeds from our annual Spirit of Christmas event support this ministry to those in need of crisis shelter, transitional housing, and job training.

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

A service provided by The Ministry of Caring

We provide meals once per month for this feeding program in downtown Wilmington.

MEALS ON WHEELS OF DELAWARE

Meals On Wheels Delaware (MOWD) provides financial resources to meal-delivery programs statewide that offer nutritious meals and independence to homebound seniors. We support these efforts through events, which raise awareness and funds to provide resources needed to alleviate hunger and loneliness for seniors throughout Delaware. Volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups, and businesses are available throughout each year.

SEAMEN'S CENTER OF WILMINGTON

We prepare "ditty boxes" each year for the Christmas at Sea program for seamen arriving at the Port of Wilmington, who are often away from home for many months at a time.

URBANPROMISE

We have supported their summer camp program for Wilmington youth, by donating art supplies and hosting camp staff for meals.

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM & MENTORING

Having received a "Spark Missional Ministry Grant*" from the New Castle Presbytery in 2018, we designed a program of both financial investment and personal involvement in the elementary schools along the Route 9 corridor in New Castle.

*The program provides resources to Ignite the spark of mission and ministry.

PRESBYTERIAN DISASTER ASSISTANCE

Through special offerings and in response to crises in our nation and throughout the world, we support the work of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to bring hope in the midst of the chaos that disasters, natural and human, can bring.
