Pilgrim Lutheran Church

About this church

Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Frederic is part of the two-congregation Bethany and Pilgrim Lutheran Parish, rooted in Swedish immigrant communities eleven miles apart. Pilgrim was organized in 1905, while its partner congregations trace regional Lutheran life to the nineteenth century. Scripture, worship, Communion, music, nursery care, fellowship, and shared parish ministry connect that history with present-day congregational life.

The published baseline schedule places Pilgrim worship Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and Bethany worship at 8:30. The worship page says the congregations switch times on the first Sunday in September, so visitors near that date should confirm whether Pilgrim has moved to 8:30 for the next season. Streamed and archived services are available online. Children are welcome in worship, ordinary child noise is expected, and both churches have nurseries. The second-Sunday praise band leads music at both parish services, while choirs and other musicians rehearse on schedules published through the music ministry. Because a shared parish site displays both churches at once, visitors should look specifically for Pilgrim and Frederic rather than assume every 8:30 listing belongs to this building.
