Pilgrim Uniting Church (PUC) is a warm, friendly, welcoming community of people coming just as they are and without obligation.

Visitors are most welcome. There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met before!

Since 1998 over 80 people have joined our faith community. Some have moved here from other areas, some have rediscovered faith in a vital new experience with God, others have connected with God for the first time and been baptised into the Christian Family. It is our joy to see Pilgrim growing into a Regional Church which people travel to from Carlton, Kew, Donvale, Blackburn and Research because they find their spiritual needs met here. Our history goes back to the late fifties.

We are committed to these undergirding values:
Outward Focus; High levels of involvement; Strong sense of community;
Clear sense of vision; An involving leadership; A lively faith; A high priority and recognition for the place of prayer; Strong ecumenical links; A passion for Social Justice; Commitment to newcomers and numerical growth through evangelism.

Strategic Plan 2006-2008 The plan was approved by the Pilgrim Church council in December 2005. A summary of the plan may be seen by clicking here and a complete copy may be obtained by contacting the church office.

Link to The Grove Uniting Church, Box Hill North The small congregation at The Grove Uniting Church, Box Hill North had been without a Minister since 1st September 2002. Some of our leaders met with representatives from the UCA Presbytery of Bourke on Friday 14th February 2003 to assist in strategic thinking about the shape of their future. After careful consideration by both Church Councils and Congregational Meetings, this led very happily, to form a linked congregation relationship. click for details of this relationship.
