White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located near Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1855, and is a two-story brick structure, nearly as tall (about 40 feet) as it is wide (45 feet). The building measures 63 feet deep. The exterior features brick pilasters and tall stained glass windows. A 1996 addition to the front of the building contains an elevator to the second floor sanctuary and is topped by a steeple.[2] The church was organized as early as 1709 to serve Scotch-Irish Presbyterians at White Clay Creek.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
