Music at Pilgrim
The most important musicians every Sunday are the members of our congregation who join us to lift up our voices to God. Whether you are joining in praise, worship, lament or despair, God wants to hear your voice.
Pilgrim Choir
The Pilgrim Lutheran Church Choir is an adult ensemble of approximately twenty singers. The choir is open to any interested singer high school age and older, without audition, who enjoys part-singing to the glory of God.
The full PLC Choir sings for worship services from September – May.
