About this church

Pilgrim United Church of Christ gathers in person, on YouTube, and on Facebook Sundays at 10 a.m. The service lasts about an hour, and clothing ranges from collared shirts to sandals. Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month. Pilgrim describes itself as a progressive, Open and Affirming congregation where people are welcome at every stage of life's journey, including LGBTQ+ people in the full life of the church. Worship, prayer, questions, music, and Christian reflection sit alongside a commitment to compassion and social justice. An adult exploration group meets Sundays at 9 to discuss progressive Christianity, Christian history, other faith traditions, films, and spiritual practice.

Families begin worship together in the sanctuary. After songs and a children's lesson, preschool through sixth grade may leave for Sunday School and grades seven through twelve for Youth Group; a professionally staffed nursery receives infants and toddlers before worship, while children may always remain with adults. Youth and children's programs combine prayer, learning, relationships, community service, and intergenerational life. Pilgrim's history traces a small founding group committed to diversity and later public justice work, including formal Open and Affirming status and participation in regional Pride events. Current groups support centering prayer, books, art, music, service, advocacy, and friendship. Questions still worth directing to the church concern parking, step-free entry, children's registration and volunteer safeguards, assistive listening, and any delay in the online broadcast.
