Description:
Newark United Methodist Church has thrived and grown through serving God and our community. We offer three Sunday morning Worship services, as well as opportunities for Christian study and an active music programs for all ages. The 9:30 a.m. Sunday Worship has been broadcast on WNRK since 1978. The carillon has played hymns from the steeple three times a day since 1953. The Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry of the University of Delaware has been at home here since 1948. The Refugee Resettlement Committee sponsored several members of a Laotian family in 1978. Since then NUMC has sponsored others needing to flee their homelands, among them families from Bosnia, Togo, and Kosovo. We house the Food Cupboard of the Newark Area Welfare Committee, and are active in ministry to the homeless, prisoners and their families, and people living with AIDS and their caretakers and families. We are also active in local Habitat for Humanity projects locally as a partner in the Newark Habitat Coalition.
