Church of the Pilgrims Presbyterian Church

What are services like?
Worship at Church of the Pilgrims is a participatory event, where each week the gathered community joins in song, prayer, preaching, storytelling, reflection, and sacraments. A bulletin provides the order of worship, and worship leaders, including the pastors, music director, and members of the congregation, lead the community through the morning service. Most weeks include times of silence and sharing, standing and sitting, meditation and movement. Our intent in worship is to engage our senses, body and soul, and connect us with God and our neighbor—both those next to us in the pews, and those outside our doors.

What is the community like?
We are a diverse community of around 100 members, many under the age of 40, coming from all over DC and parts of Virginia and Maryland. We are a community of transformation that engages newcomers, especially young adults, in the practices of Christian community, centered in hospitality, social justice, and spiritual formation, affirming each person, and calling out the best in every individual.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All are pilgrims... and we come at various places along our pilgrim journey. Faith and doubt are both part of that journey. We are a community where questions are honored, and diverse expressions of faith are accepted.
