LIFE WORTH
LIVING CHURCH
10 Years of..
Once upon a time in 2015, Life Worth Living Church began a journey to transform lives and build a loving community. This story centers on embracing God's Word and covenant principles to become devoted disciples. Under Pastor J's leadership, we explore deepening our faith strengthening our church family bonds. Join us in celebrating a decade of growth and connection!
A Humble Beginning
In 2015, Pastor John “J” Finney answered God’s call to establish Life Worth Living Church in Wilmington, DE. With a handful of passionate believers, we began meeting outdoors at the corner of 7th and West Street, united by a vision to help every member grow into a disciple—deeply rooted in covenant with Christ and with one another
Laying Spiritual Foundations
From the very start, our focus was unwavering: to know the Word, live it out, and build on covenant principles. Under Pastor J’s 30+ years of ministry experience, we taught discipleship as central—not peripheral. Our mission statement guided every choice: “Make disciples… teaching them to obey … I am with you always” (Matt 28:18–20)
โServing the Community: Alabaster Box
That same year, fueled by compassion, we started the Alabaster Box—a weekly food and clothing closet. In neighborhoods across Wilmington, we served thousands. Even during the pandemic, our volunteers continued this ministry, visiting communities like Lutheran Towers and Parkview Place to ensure no one was overlooked
Steadfast Through Hardship
When COVID-19 hit in 2020, we didn’t halt—we adapted. Outdoor services became our norm. We deepened our outreach: delivering essentials and hope right into people’s homes. It was in this season that our commitment to being “alive in the Word” and the community really proved its worth
