Silverside Church

Warm and Welcoming

Diversity-embracing

Caring and Challenging

Silverside Church is Wilmington, Delaware’s progressive seekers’ congregation. Maybe it’s the community you’ve been searching for. Sincere seekers are always welcome at any of our gatherings or events.

Silverside Church not only encourages each member and friend to own her or his own perspectives, but also it is a community that celebrates diversity otherwise. Any serious seeker is warmly embraced regardless of ethnicity or cultural background, sexual orientation, economic advantage or disadvantage, previous religious experience including no religious background at all.

If you think matters of spirituality require as much rigorous consideration as any other important area of your life, if heavy duty dogma sends you running, and if a slogan like “Deeds NOT Creeds” grabs you, then, by all means, keep clicking!
