Pilgrim is generally in agreement with the “family-integrated church” model as compared to the “program-driven church” model. Rest assured that we do not lift up family above all else. However, we do not minimize family to “maximize” ministry, either! Our main goal– shared with every other Bible-believing New Testament church–is to glorify God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our church has a commitment to Biblical truth. We desire to:
Preach and teach the whole counsel of God (II Timothy 3:16).
Bring up our children “in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).
Encourage and equip fathers to lead their families in “paths of righteousness” (Psalm 23:3).
Enable whole-family participation in worship, learning and service (Mark 10:13-14; Deut. 31:12; Matthew 28:19, 20).
“Have fellowship with Him” and “with one another” (II Peter 3:11-13).
Become “ambassadors for Christ” as we live and work in the world (II Corinthians 5:20).
PBC also feels that many of the old hymns of the faith express a depth of theological teaching and a reverence for God that is missing in much of today’s music.
Our initial meetings were in homes and public meeting places in northern Oakland County. For the past six years, we’ve met in a rented church building in Fenton for worship space and proximity to our members. Additionally, we gather at the Fenton Community Center once a month for a church-wide potluck fellowship.
