We seek a faith that has intellectual integrity. We want our children, youth and adults to be able think critically about their faith. In our educational programs we seek to provide an atmosphere in which questions are welcome, doubts are acceptable, and information is drawn from many sources. Together we ask the question: What does it mean to be Christian in the 21st century?
Our educational programs include:
- Adult Education: Lay led by members of the congregation
- Study and discussions 11:15-12:15 many Sundays; 8:30-9:45 some Sundays
- Occasional speakers on topics of special or timely interest
- Bible study
- Church history
- Contemporary religious thought
- Spiritual disciplines and practice
- Comparative religions and spiritualities
- Updates on issues such as affordable housing in Duluth and legislative issues impacting our children
- Discussions with artists and authors
Current offerings are listed in the worship bulletin available each Sunday and the newsletter, mailed every other week.
Libraries
Pilgrim has a children’s library on the first floor and an adult library on the second floor. Both spaces afford a quiet atmosphere for personal reading and individual study.
Retreats
Pilgrim has established a family winter retreat at a nearby retreat center. Men’s and women’s retreats are traditionally held each spring.
