Pilgrim Baptist Church

About this church

Pilgrim Baptist Church, known as the Miracle on I Street, is at 700 I Street NE in Washington, D.C., in the H Street corridor. The congregation organized in 1911 and has relocated and rebuilt over its history. Morning worship is Sundays at 9:30 a.m., beginning with a praise team at 9:15 a.m., and a Bible Enrichment class precedes it at 8:15 a.m. Worship usually lasts 75 to 90 minutes and combines traditional Baptist style with a blended approach. The Ministry of Music includes choirs singing contemporary gospel, traditional hymns and gospel hip hop. Services are streamed on Facebook, YouTube and the website.

Midweek, a Noonday Prayer Service meets on Wednesdays at 12 p.m. and a Bible study meets that evening at 7 p.m. over Zoom. PBC Kids serves children ages two to ten during services, and older children often join a separate classroom. There is no dress code. Pilgrim has three parking lots near the church, including a gated lot behind 711 I Street and a lot at 636 I Street, and on Sundays it holds several street spaces in front of the church for first-time visitors who call or use the contact form ahead of time. The church lists a card ministry and ministry sign-ups, and describes its mission as promoting God's love and preparing God's people. Visitors should confirm times on the website.
