First Pilgrim United Church

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become a member of First-Pilgrim?

There are several ways of becoming a member of First-Pilgrim. If you are already a member of another congregation, it is a simple matter to transfer your membership to our church. Please see Paul to discuss this. If you are not currently a member of another congregation, or new to the faith, you can become a member of First-Pilgrim (depending on your individual circumstances) through Baptism, Confirmation, or Profession of Faith. Please contact Rev Jane to discuss such options.

Church membership entails various rights and responsibilities, but is certainly not required if you wish to attend worship, participate in our life and work, or continue seeking God and a sense of meaning and purpose in your own life's journey.

How can I financially support First-Pilgrim?

For those of you who are able to financially support our many ministries, there are several ways to proceed. You may, for instance, make a special one-time gift to the church as a whole, or to one of our specific ministries, such as outreach or youth. Members and friends (adherents) are encouraged to contribute regularly, either through weekly offering envelopes or through monthly automatic debits from your bank account. This latter option, Pre-Authorized Remittance (P.A.R.), is especially convenient to you and helpful to the church. For more information on this, please contact Rev Jane or our treasurer.
