We are Pilgrims
Our name, Pilgrim Congregational Church, harkens back to our spiritual ancestors who left England for Holland, and then embarked on the Mayflower for the shores of the New World. Learn more about our history.
on a journey
We are part of a denomination—the United Church of Christ—that understands God to be still speaking to the world. Questions as well as answers are part of our spiritual life.
together,
Community is important to us. We cannot make this journey alone. We value the intergenerational nature of our congregation and we seek to care for each other. Learn more about worship.
seeking God’s will on earth
In many different ways, members of our congregation are involved in making the world a little more as we believe God intended it to be. “I have come that they may have abundant life,” said Jesus. Learn more about social justice.
through study,
Our faith is informed and deepened through study of the Bible, historic Christianity, and secular disciplines. We offer adult discussion groups as well as a Church School for children and confirmation instruction for adolescents.
discernment,
We believe that listening is as important as speaking. We listen carefully to each other and together we listen as God speaks to us in ordinary life experiences. Meditations.
and service.
Pilgrims serve the wider community in many ways. As a congregation we are involved in local efforts to build affordable housing and to address various community needs through agencies such as CHUM. We participate in denominational ministries in far places and are building relationships with people and organizations in Mexico and Guatemala. Learn more about social justice.
