Welcome to St. Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church in Wilmington, Delaware!

We are a growing community of over 100 Orthodox Christian families from northern New Castle County and the surrounding area. We come from all over: "cradle" Orthodox, new converts, and recent arrivals from traditional Orthodox countries.

All services are in English. Our schedule of services is below.

The Orthodox Church is evangelical ... but not Protestant.

It is orthodox ... but not Jewish.

It is catholic ... but not Roman.

It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational.

It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost, over 2000 years ago.

We invite you to come meet us and find out more about the Ancient Christian Faith.

$St. Michael\'s Building Program$

LATEST NEWS: Construction on our new social hall is rapidly nearing completion! New kitchen appliances have been delivered and installed, and all interior and exterior work is done. We are completing work on a stormwater retention pond and are awaiting our final inspection by New Castle County to secure our Certificate of Occupancy.

Please take a look at plans and photographs for our new building.

Thanks to the hard work and prayers of our parish members, we have secured all of the necessary financing for the project, including a $500,000 mortgage from the Russian Brotherhood Organization of the U.S.A.

Your help and prayers are needed to make the program a success!
