Music

Pilgrim loves and appreciates music, believing it is essential to spiritual expression. Music is central in all our worship services.

  • Sing traditional hymns and spirituals
  • Listen to choral anthems
  • Experience classical, jazz, and gospel music

We invite you to participate – join the choir, offer your talents for a special performance, or raise your voice in song during Sunday worship.

The Organ

The organ at Pilgrim Church is a Hook & Hastings Organ. Built in 1897, it was originally installed at St. Louis Roman Catholic Church in Webster, Mass. until 1971, when the church closed. The Andover Organ Company owned the organ until the instrument was purchased by Pilgrim Church in 1973. The organ has two manuals, pedal with sixteen stops, and 19 ranks of pipes – roughly 1,028 pipes in total. This splendid instrument perfectly fits the excellent acoustic space of Pilgrim’s sanctuary. To experience this beautiful instrument, watch the videos below.
