God sets a big table at Pilgrim Church, and there’s room for everyone to gather at the feast.

Each Sunday morning at 10:30, we come together and sing, pray (silently and out loud), hear the Good News, and bring our own gifts to the celebration. We look around our magnificent sanctuary and feel the presence of God, and not just because our surroundings are awe-inspiring. Our voices lift in song, the Word is preached, bread is broken and the cup is shared, and we can feel in the rhythm of our life together – praising God, caring for one another, striving for justice and peace – that God is at work in our midst. We feel our lives being transformed.

Our services are enriched by the incredible gifts not only of our pastors but of the people of this church, beginning with music. We have a vibrant music ministry that includes our Chancel Choir, Inspiration Choir, and Children’s Choir. The Voluntary Brass, the Handbell Choir, and various other instrumentalists bring their own distinctive beauty to worship. Our arts groups, including Antaeus Dance, Kenyetta African Dance Theatre, and Full Circle Theatre give added dimension to our experience of God through our worship. Most importantly, the people of Pilgrim Church live out a heartfelt commitment to hospitality, so every person who walks through the door is extended a warm and gracious welcome. Our time together, downstairs, after worship, is a time to get to know one another, to enjoy one another’s company, to lend a word of support, encouragement, and celebration. We leave, feeling empowered, strengthened, called.

It’s been said that you never know what to expect on Sunday morning at Pilgrim Church, from the New Orleans Jazz Ensemble on Mardi Gras Sunday to Pilgrim attire on Thanksgiving Sunday, but it’s also true that you know what you can count on at Pilgrim Church on Sunday morning: Spirit-filled worship, inclusivity that respects and welcomes all of God’s children, a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty, and a challenge to take this gift out into the world and make it a better place. This faith community of lots of different kinds of people recognizes that we are, above all and deep-down, children of God, and sisters and brothers to one another. We make sure, then, that everyone has a place at the table. Come and find your place at the table God has set, and join in the feast. You can’t imagine what it’s like just from reading about it; come and see for yourself.
