History, Organization and Traditions

A church is more than Sunday morning worship and youth activities, more than fellowship groups, and more than a way of reaching out to the community and the world.

Each Church has a unique "feel" about it, from the people who answer the phone and send out the newsletter, to the historical perspective it represents. Each church has traditions, from regular events to rituals, even to such things as the decorations on its walls. Pilgrim Faith has all this and more. Being a church which has grown through mergers, both denominational and local, it has blended many traditions and, in this way, taken on a life of its own.

We would like to share some of this with you, as a way for you to get a better appreciation of what the church stands for and how it operates. Choose from among the topics below to learn more about our organization, history, and traditions.
