Pilgrim United Church of Christ

About this church

Pilgrim Church in Port Charlotte is a congregation of the United Church of Christ that traces its beginnings to 1964. Sunday worship is held at 9 a.m. in a blended format that includes organ and piano music, Scripture readings, hymns, the Lord's Prayer, a sermon and choir anthems, and preaching follows the lectionary and church calendar. Holy Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month by intinction with grape juice; prefilled cups and gluten-free wafers are available on request, and servers bring the elements to anyone unable to come forward. Clothing ranges from suits to shorts, and casual dress is fine. Confirm the current schedule on the website.

Children are dismissed after the first hymn for a lesson and craft time in the children's ministry room. A Bible study meets Sundays at 10:15 a.m. in the library, with each lesson standing on its own so newcomers can try it, and the pastor leads short-term studies during Lent, summer and Advent. Women's Fellowship gathers monthly for study during its season, and a care group meets Tuesdays at noon. Outreach includes a Little Food Pantry, monthly sandwich-making for people experiencing homelessness, and financial support for local and wider causes. The campus also hosts Narcotics Anonymous and TOPS meetings, and Joyful Noise Learning Center has operated as a ministry of the church since 2004.
