The deacons of Pilgrim Church desire to “Be merciful, just as [our] Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36).  We are committed to meeting physical and emotional needs of Pilgrim members, our neighbors and our larger community for the health and safety of the individual or family and to the glory of God.  

If you or your family are struggling, please reach out to us at Pilgrim Church (215) 438-8878 or info@pilgrimphilly.org.  

If you are able to offer assistance or would like to be updated regularly on opportunities to serve along with us, please let us know. Likewise, monetary donations are always welcome to enable the deacons to provide support for those in need. Checks, earmarked “deacons” in the memo, can be made out to Pilgrim Church or donations for the deacons fund can also be made online.
