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

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 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. Sometimes simply speaking your heart in a nonjudgmental group can be deeply healing.
Missions supports our local community as well as offering financial support beyond Port Charlotte.
Women’s Fellowship
The November meeting will be held on November 19, at 10:00 a.m. in the Church Library. Entrance is through the Joyful Noise front door. The devotion topic is “Strengthening Your Discipleship”, an excerpt from Rick Warren’s book, What On Earth Am I Here For? The lunch plan for additional fellowship is to carpool to Fisherman’s Village to the new, Castaway Restaurant.
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.
