Who we are

Love of Christ Church warmly welcomes people from different backgrounds, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. We'd love to have you join us!

Our Mission

We filter every ministry, idea, and budget request through our mission statement, "To lead people to become mature disciples of Jesus, who love God and others." This mission is based upon two teachings of Jesus:

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." (Matthew 28:18-20) "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 28:36-39)

Leader Bio:

Pastor Stephen Harvell has been the senior pastor of Love of Christ Church since 1991. Before coming to Delaware, he worked for the DuPont Company along the North Carolina coast. During that time, he earned his Master of Divinity degree and later started a church, also called Love of Christ Church, in the rural town of Bolivia. In 1989, God told him to turn over the leadership of his church to a new pastor and ask DuPont for a transfer to Delaware. After only being in Delaware a year, God then said to start Love of Christ Church here and leave the corporate world to become a full-time pastor. In November 1991, Love of Christ Church had its first gathering in a small insurance office in Wilmington with 17 people. Today this church has two physical locations in Bear and Middletown, and a thriving Church Online platform, led by Pastor Stephen and his wife Barbara.

Pastor Stephen is also the founder and overseer of Love of Christ Church India, which supports 84 pastors and 435 churches. In addition, he is a charter member of the church-planting organization, Association of Related Churches (ARC). In his free time, Stephen enjoys bow hunting, traveling with his wife and spending time with their three children and four grandchildren.
