With all the character of its citizens, it is easy to see why Wilmington is swimming with so many clubs and organizations. All residents in all age groups can find their niche in the community by participating in the many events and classes that these organizations create. Covering everything from athletics to the arts to the just plain sociable, citizens are provided with an outlet for nearly every passion, while celebrating in the community of Wilmington and encouraging and basking in the fellowship that inevitably burns from the fuels created by these organizations.

Religious faith has always been an important aspect of the Cape Fear region's identity. Many settlers were known to have migrated to this area in the 1700's century in part for the purposes of declaring their religious freedom. The founding fathers of the Wilmington region created many spiritual homes, accomodating a broad cultural spectrum, and they eventually built stunning architectural tributes to their faiths, some of which still stand today. In the process, these citizens also created a tolerating religious environment, carefully building a system which preserved each other's right to observe their beliefs. The modern day Cape Fear region offers great diversity in places and methods of worship in more than 200 churches. One cannot view the skyline along the Cape Fear river adjacent to historic downtown Wilmington without being instantly struck by the presence of grand steeples. Whatever your choice of faith, Wilmington holds you to itself and holds you to your religion, respecting it and allow you absolute freedom to worship in your own right.
