Sunday School is offered for children age four through eighth grade during the 10:00 a.m. service, and nursery care is available for children up to age four. Teens can join Pilgrim Fellowship on Sunday evenings at 7:00 during the school year, and ninth and tenth graders take part in a two-year Confirmation program. Adults can attend Tuesday morning Bible study, a senior choir that rehearses Thursday evenings, bell choir, Sunday forums, and a community garden whose produce is donated to a local food bank.
