I’ve only had the opportunity to visit once so far, during the Ash Wednesday service, but it was a meaningful experience. In the middle of a busy week, it was refreshing to take a quiet moment for myself in the presence of the Lord. Having grown up in the same church home throughout my early and formative years, and now living in a different state, it meant a lot to feel that familiar spirit again. While I believe that we ourselves are the church, there is something special that happens when believers gather together — the spirit is strengthened and shared in a powerful way. I truly appreciated experiencing that sense of familiarity and connection here. I’ve visited a few churches and will continue exploring, but I fully intend to return and spend more time at this one.

Outstanding worship experience, and thus church is excellent for kids to grow in their faith. It has done wonders for my three traumatized kids. Most people here are truly God-centric and it shows. Of most importance is that the Pastor and the first family is God-sent, true and trustworthy. You will receive the unadulterated truth in a loving and authentic way! Children play an important and impactful role at PRBC. Lastly, this is an all-encompassing Community-based church. Come give it a try. You can also attend it online, although in person gives you the full Godly experience.

I absolutely love Pilgrim. I have been a member since 2010. If you are looking for a good Word, fellowship, a choir that is fire, community, and a place that feels like home this is where you belong.

I belive there is only one father in the home . It seems to me that this church always have guess speakers. I guess the paster doesnt have time to study the Bible to come up with his own services. Back in the day. Bishop Thomas always preach his services. If the paster doesnt want to take the time to preach , why should I take the time to go.

I am going to remain anonymous but I am giving my honest review regarding my experience. Don't waste your time getting help from these people they don't care what type of hardship you are going through. I live far and had to fill out a app in person tell my situation then was called for a appt requesting more information that I have no idea what they needed for because they denied to help since I had another agency help with utilities and never called back to say if they would help with rent like they said they would do. Not sure if they get some sord of recognition for gathering all your most personal info but they DO NOT help you. When you walk in you can tell you're getting judged by the looks the workers give you STAY AWAY !! I can't believe this is church..

I love this church! Showing the love of God and spiritual growth is the priority. I’ve grown and flourished under this ministry. I highly recommend PRBC!

No words to describe my experience! Do not humiliate yourself going there. They take all your information and after you disclose everything, they laugh at you. Is as if they enjoy seeing you suffer.

My family and I have been members for 15 years. We attended every Sunday in person or virtually. We are blessed to have the spoken word of our Lord passed through the mind of our ministers. The legacy of this church will be insurmountable.
