Pastoral Search

Wilmington Apostolic Pentecostal Church (WAPC) is a growing church in the heart of Wilmington, DE, and we are prayerfully seeking the pastor God is calling to lead us into our next season.

Wilmington is a diverse, urban city along the I-95 corridor, just minutes from Philadelphia and within reach of Baltimore, New York City, and Washington, D.C. It’s a city full of opportunity—families, young people, and communities in need of truth, hope and consistent love.

WAPC has a faithful core, a desire for revival, and a burden to reach our city. We are not perfect, but we are hungry—for growth, discipleship, and the moving of the Holy Ghost.

If you’re looking for the place where God is calling you to be part of what He is doing in a city that needs Him, Wilmington may be that place.
