Our Mission

“God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” ~ 1 Peter 4:10

The mission of the Presbyterian Church centers on proclaiming the teachings of Jesus Christ, fostering a welcoming and inclusive community, and serving others through acts of compassion and justice. Guided by Scripture, we seek to nurture spiritual growth, encourage discipleship, and actively engage in outreach both locally and globally. By emphasizing stewardship, education, and service, the congregation of Pilgrim strives to reflect God’s love in all aspects of life and build a more just and compassionate world.

Below are some of the Phillipsburg community partnerships we are actively engaged with through the Mission Grove. Please be sure to check out the website of each for more information about their great works.
