White Clay is a 300-year-old church affiliated with ECO, located in Newark, Delaware, a city of approximately 30,000 residents that is home to the University of Delaware.  While proud of the its rich history, the church is always looking to the future, and that future starts with our youth.

An essential element of this position is the candidate’s ability to provide programming for children across a broad age range (elementary to high school).
