Pilgrim Baptist Church boasts of a rich history that began in 1910. The founding father, Brother George Bray and a few others evolved out of Rehoboth Baptist Church and on March 29, 1911, a strong group of seventy-five in number met in Southwest Washington at Faith Chapel and organized the Pilgrim Baptist Church.

 

March 2016 marks 105 years since that time, and God has continued to bless the church, through changes that include relocation from Southwest Washington to North East Washington, a fire that destroyed the church, only to be rebuilt again, bigger and better than before! So much so, that the church has an aka to express God’s goodness: “The Miracle on I Street. In its’ existence, Pilgrim has had five Pastors, signifying stability, and is currently pastored by Rev. Louis B. Jones, II, marking his 26th year of pastoral service in April 2016.

 

Drawing from a legacy of a traditional Baptist style of worship, Pilgrim has diversified its’ worship services to be inclusive of a worship experience that is a blended fellowship, relevant to all worshippers willing to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. The only dress code that exists is that one decent and in order whether in a suit or tie, jeans and tee-shirts. The only prerequisite for attending is an open heart and a desire to be in the presence of God and to hear His word.

​

Sunday Worship at 9:30 AM begins with a Praise Team at 9:15 A.M.  Our Ministry of Music includes choirs that minister with Contemporary Gospel, Traditional Hymns, and Gospel Hip Hop. You have the privilege of being part of a church that has an illustrious beginning, a glorious present, and a future as bright as the promises of God.

 

We offer opportunities to fellowship with other Believers for Christian growth, development, training, and service. Our task is to carry the Gospel of Christ to every nation and tongue.
