Church of the Servant, Wilmington, North Carolina

Parish Care is a vital lay ministry dedicated to supporting one another. This is done by intentional praying, sending cards, calling, visiting, providing meals, creating prayer shawls and providing transportation. Stephen Ministers are also available to provide one-to-one care for those who are experiencing a difficult time in life. 

Formation classes for ages 3 through adult meet at 9:45 on Sunday mornings during the school year, beginning the Sunday after Labor Day until late May.

The Racial Equity Project at Church of the Servant is focused on racial justice and reconciliation beginning with our parish and moving into the wider community. This group was formed in response to the Vestry decision in 2022 to focus on racial justice. We understand that this essential work will take time and we also realize that we may never “finish." As the Church, we agree that this is the work that we are called to do as a part of our Baptismal Covenant.

Our Vision: To create racial equity within our church and community.

Our Mission: To follow the Episcopal Church's Becoming Beloved Community whereby we work for racial justice, healing, and reconciliation because it is the work that we are called to do as a part of our Baptismal Covenant.

To achieve our mission, we will educate ourselves using:

• Sacred Ground which teaches us the true history of Black, Latino, Indigenous, and Asian American and Pacific Islander citizens.
• guest speakers who work for racial equity from our local Black community.
• our church library of racial justice and equity books.

Discern our role in racial equity work as a parish by working through the questions posed in Becoming Beloved Community and simultaneously coming up with action plans.

Support changes in our parish to make our church a place where all feel welcome as they are. We will support our local Black community both financially and in ways that the community we strive to serve deems appropriate.

The Parish Care Committee has implemented a hurricane/disaster preparedness plan for COS parishioners. When a severe storm with potentially devastating power is predicted, telephone volunteers from our parish will contact COS members to confirm their plans and potential needs. The team can also identify those who would be willing to provide time, talent or equipment to help parishioners who need assistance and/or helping secure the church property. If parishioners plan to evacuate and carpool or caravan, the Storm Sidekicks program can help team up travel partners within the parish.
