In 1936 it was decided by some of the members from another local Presbyterian Church that they knew the teachings of the denomination were starting to steer away from what Scripture said. It was then that Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church was formed. The members that left met for 2 years in The Everett Theater and then built the current building in 1938 at 13 Pennington St. Middletown, DE.
After 89 years of serving the Lord and His people here in Middletown, the Lord seems to be leading us to close our doors.
As much as it saddens us to say this, we know the Lord is present and his plan is perfect. We thank the congregation for the many years of fellowship and ministry to the Middletown community through corporate worship, Vacation Bible School, Sunday School and other community events.
We thank our the board of Trustees for their service to the church and congregation. We thank Deacons Ralph Ash and Ron Ridgway for their service to the congregation and community. We thank Elder Terry Wiley for his many years of service to the congregation, church and community. We thank Pastor Harting for his pastoral wisdom and care to Christs flock and community over these last 43 years. We thank the many members and friends of the congregation that have given time, support and prayers to the Ministry here at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian church.
Please feel free to worship and celebrate our final days until Sunday, June 29th, 2025.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame;[a]
he remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
