Pilgrim's Progress (by God's Grace) in Raleigh

Pilgrim Presbyterian Church owes its inception, under God, to the Rev. John H. Thompson, Jr, a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church’s (OPC’s) denominational Committee on Home Missions and Church Extension who sought to establish Reformed churches in the southern United States. In June 1970, Rev. Thompson placed an ad in the Raleigh papers, followed leads from the ads, and invited interested people to participate in a public meeting. The responses created a small nucleus for a new church.
