AI Summary
Church of the Pilgrims is an openly affirming More Light congregation welcoming full LGBTQ participation, with participatory, liturgical worship that includes weekly sacraments and intentionally includes children and youth in the service. Worship is Sundays at 11:00 AM at 2201 P St. NW (near Dupont Circle Metro; limited parking), and the congregation also livestreams and offers Zoom registration and short-term recordings on YouTube. The church is active in community ministry—hosting Open Table bagged lunches on Sundays, midweek Sacred Suppers and other community meals, and an urban garden (Sacred Greens) that supplies produce—and it shares its building with local nonprofits; it is currently unable to accept new space requests. Founded in 1903 with the present 1928 sanctuary, the congregation is led by Rev. Erin Counihan (since January 2022) and a musical program including cantors and many instruments, and it is beginning a shared ministry with Western Presbyterian Church with rotating worship locations starting fall 2025 and joint pastoral leadership in 2026.
