Pilgrim - St Luke's United Church of Christ

About this church

Pilgrim–St. Luke's is a United Church of Christ congregation on Richmond Avenue in Buffalo. The church identifies as Open and Affirming and describes itself as an inclusive, multiracial, multilingual, and accessible community. Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. and is offered in a hybrid format, both in the sanctuary and on Zoom. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday, with gluten-free wafers available, and the congregation characterizes its worship as both casual and reverent.

The present church was formed through a 1968 merger, while its Richmond Avenue building dates to 1911. Its ministries connect spiritual practice with community action, including refugee accompaniment through Vive, meditation, book discussion, gratitude gatherings, and other opportunities that change with the season. Visitors joining remotely need to request the Zoom information by noon on Saturday; those attending in person can come to 335 Richmond Avenue. The church's official service page and calendar are the best places to confirm access details and find the most current small-group and outreach opportunities.
