About Us
Pilgrim Church, a congregation of the United Church of Christ, is comprised of people just like you – single, married, divorced, widowed, senior citizens, youth, children, traditional and blended families. We come from diverse ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds. Some of us were raised in church and can’t recall a time when the church wasn’t a vital part of our lives, while for others the whole church experience is new and somewhat unfamiliar. For still others, the church was once central, but they drifted away and only recently returned to their faith.
What We Do
“To Help People KNOW Christ Personally and GROW in Their Faith.”
Sunday Worship
Every Sunday, 9:00 a.m. Worship in Community together
Our worship includes traditional hymns, choir anthem and on the first Sunday each month we celebrate the Lord’s Supper by intinction.
Due to Hurricane Ian damage, Sunday Worship is currently in our Community Center!
Bible Study
Every Sunday, 10:15 a.m. in the Library
Classes on October 19 and 26 will begin a study of Peter 1 & 2. In these letters, Peter dwells on the glory and joy of following Christ and receiving His grace. He uses this reassurance as a balance for the knowledge of the suffering of Christ and the suffering of those who follow Him.
Missions
The Little Food Pantry: For those in need, and for those who wish to give. Take what you need. Give what you can. Together, we care for one another.
Pilgrims make PBJ Sandwiches for the Homeless Coalition each month (4th Thursdays each month) and look forward to reopening the food pantry!
Community Support
Care Group meets Tuesdays,12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the office conference room. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or just need someone to listen, you’re not alone. Sometimes simply speaking your heart in a nonjudgmental group can be deeply healing.
NA meets at Pilgrim Church on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.
TOPS meets on Fridays at 9:00 a.m. Taking Off Pounds Sensibly, weight loss support group.
Missions supports our local community as well as offering financial support beyond Port Charlotte.
Women’s Fellowship
The next meeting is Thursday, October 16, after which, the ladies travel to a nearby restaurant to enjoy an informal fellowship lunch. The study this year is Survey of the Bible: Understanding the Books, Places, Story, People, and Periods.
Women’s Fellowship also sponsors an evening Book Club dinner. October 23, at 6:00 p.m., we will review The Dirt Beneath Our Door: My Journey to Freedom After Escaping a Polygamous Mormon Cult by Pamela Jones and Elizabeth Ridley.
Joyful Noise Learning Center
Since 2004, Joyful Noise Learning Center has been a ministry of Pilgrim Church. We believe childhood is precious. In a world where children are often forced to grow up too soon we offer a community of gentleness and safety where Christian values of kindness, honestly, and respect of God and others are taught with loving care.
