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.
What is the Orthodox Church?
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.

LATEST NEWS: Construction on our new social hall is well underway! The new front portico is in place, and the framing and roofing of the hall is complete.
Please take a look at plans and photographs for our new building.
On Holy Wednesday, April 15, 2009, we received approval from New Castle County for our site plan so that we can begin construction on our new social hall. 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. Construction is now underway. Once the social hall has been constructed, we will expand the size of the church.
Your help and prayers are needed to make the program a success!
