Members and friends of the congregation share the first meal in the new Parish Hall before the first night of Vacation Bible School on July 17, 2017. Such meals before VBS, as those before Advent and Lenten midweek services and those on Sundays before Voters’ Meetings, are just some of the opportunities for people to get to know one another better at Pilgrim Lutheran Church.

Pilgrim Lutheran Church is where Biblical and confessional Lutheran Christians from the Kilgore area gather together to receive the forgiveness of sins from God’s Word and Sacraments set in the context of liturgical worship. We are a relatively small and close-knit group whose members love and care for one another and for those around us in our community, state, country, and world. Despite being close-knit, we welcome others into our midst and offer the links on this page to lead you to more information about us.
