Enjoy this gallery of photos showing life at First & Central.
First & Central welcomes you to our website. We're glad you're here, and hope you will visit us (in person or by Internet) sometime soon.
​
First things first: First & Central is not at the corner of some "First" and "Central" street in Wilmington (neither street name exists). We're at the corner of 11th and Market Streets, a corner of Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. If you snapped the QR code on our sidewalk banner, you already knew that!
​
Second: we proclaim ourselves to be "A Church Without Walls that Welcomes Without Limits." We love worshiping God and working with the young and old, straight and LGBTQ+ folks, people of every color and background imaginable, believers and those are open to becoming one. We want more on our team to make a greater church and a better world. Whoever you are, we will gladly welcome you, your life, your story, and your love.
​
Third: you can find out a lot about us on this website. Maybe too much. :-) Use the drop-down menu above. If you need something else, use our Contact form. (There's a button at the bottom of every page.)
