About Us

Pilgrim Lutheran Brethren Church is grounded in the Biblical and Reformation truths
emphasized by Martin Luther, the great German reformer.

Pilgrim conducts its services in an informal style of worship, highlighted by congregational
singing, prayer, praise, fellowship, and Bible-based sermons. Pilgrim is committed to
missions, evangelism, community involvement, and development of lay people as participants
in the spreading of the gospel and in the ministry of the church. Pilgrim emphasizes personal
salvation through Jesus Christ, resulting in Godly living which is in harmony with Biblical
teachings.

Pilgrim has a vibrant, worshipful spirit! We believe that God is in our midst, saving, changing,
and healing lives!

Pilgrim's congregation consists of a unique blend of seniors, singles, families, teens, and
children. Our people are warm, caring, and understanding.

We come from many different walks of life and out of many different, and at times, difficult
situations. We realize that life is a challenge and frequently a struggle, therefore, we
emphasize the life-changing power and presence of Jesus Christ. We look forward to the
opportunity to meet you, to introduce you to our people and to Jesus Christ and to welcome
you into our fellowship.

Brethren Doctrinal Statement of Faith.

In the Sacrament of Baptism, God offers the benefits of Christ’s redemption to all people and
graciously bestows the washing of regeneration and newness of life to all who believe. God
calls the baptized person to live in daily repentance, that is, in sorrow for sin, in turning from
sin, and in personal faith in the forgiveness of sin obtained by Christ. By grace we are daily
given the power to overcome sinful desires and live a new life in Christ. Those who do not
continue to live in God’s grace need to be brought again to repentance and faith through the
Law and Gospel.

Because the sinfulness of human nature passes on from generation to generation and the
promise of God’s grace includes little children, we baptize infants, who become members of
Christ’s believing church through baptism. These children need to come to know that they are
sinners with a sinful nature that opposes God. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, they need
to confess their sinfulness and yield to God; and possess for themselves forgiveness of their
sin through Jesus Christ, as they are led from the faith received in infant baptism into a clear
conscious personal faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior and being assured of salvation, rely
solely on the finished work of Christ, and the power of the Gospel to live as children of God.
