Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir and Friends Concert & Fundraiser

The Historic Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir and Friends Concert & Fundraiser

In remembrance of our history and in celebration of our continued journey, we are hosting a Pilgrim Choir & Friends Concert and Fundraiser. This inspiring musical gathering will bring together choirs, musicians, and supporters who share a love for gospel music and a commitment to preserving Pilgrim’s legacy.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the devastating fire that claimed our beloved National Landmark church building. Though the fire destroyed the historic structure, it did not extinguish the spirit, faith, or musical legacy of Pilgrim Baptist Church. For generations, Pilgrim has been a sacred space where gospel music was nurtured and shared with the world.
