Faith Formation
At Pilgrim, we believe that faith formation is a lifelong journey. Education, discussion, and sharing experiences are valuable parts of continuing to grow in faith throughout our lives. There are numerous opportunities to grow at Pilgrim:
Inquirers Gathering
Several times a year, we welcome new members into our church family. If you are interested in becoming a member, we invite you to join other seekers, Pilgrim staff, and leaders on selected Sundays after worship in the Parlor. We share a bit about who we are and how we join together as the faith community of Pilgrim and the United Church of Christ. We invite you to come with your questions and ideas.
Seasonal Studies
The seasons of Advent and Lent are times of study as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas and Easter. We hold weekly small-group gatherings to reflect and discuss readings geared to the season.
Spirits and Social Justice
Pilgrim holds monthly Spirits and Social Justice gatherings--evening conversations about faith and social justice issues featuring local community leaders. The sessions are typically held at a local pub in Tremont or Ohio City and allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. Learn more about Spirits and Social Justice.
Other Opportunities
Throughout the year, there are additional opportunities to explore how faith connects with social issues, such as book discussion groups, presentations by speakers, viewing films, and attending plays.
