Adult Christian Formation

The Adult Christian Formation group meets Sunday morning at 9am. Book discussions are generally 6 week studies. We just finished up our discussion of “The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus” on March 15th. We are taking a brief break but will resume following Easter Sunday with discussions of a new book “Why Did Jesus Have to Die?: The meaning of the crucifixion” by Adam Hamilton (see below) . Please feel free to join us. If you have any questions about the discussions, please reach out to Paul Berlet.

Dear friends and families of Pilgrim Presbyterian Church!

For the 2025-2026 Christian Formation school year, we plan to continue our gatherings and re-engage our youth participants in activities, including Youth Choirs, volunteer opportunities, and Youth Christian Formation (aka Sunday School).

Whether your youth are interested in participating in all opportunities offered, or maybe just in choir, or exclusively as a volunteer, please register ALL young people who may be involved in Pilgrim activities at some point during the school year, because that ensures that we have emergency contact and allergy information for all types of participants.
