HISTORY

Whatcoat United Methodist Church is located in Dover, Delaware on the Delmarva Peninsula Eastern Shore. The current edifice has been located at 341 Saulsbury Road for 35 years. The original church was incorporated in 1870. The cornerstone of that building was laid on Slaughter Street in Dover, Delaware, in 1871. On December 12, 1976, the final worship service was held on Slaughter Street. The Call to Worship began services in the Whatcoat United Methodist Church at 341 Saulsbury Road in Dover, Delaware.

Since 1970, Whatcoat United Methodist Church has been "The Servant Church of Dover." It declares as its vision that hopes where persons who are hurt find healing, the grieved are comforted, the lonely find friendship, and the broken become whole. Together, we find joy in service as followers of Jesus Christ.
