Welcome to Pilgrim Uniting Church Yarraville
Pilgrim is an open, welcoming and accepting Christian community in Melbourne’s inner west. We value the gifts of each person who comes through our door, we nurture children’s participation in church life and we value inter-generational friendships. We are a well-woven community that warmly welcomes visitors and new members. Please join us in our journeys of life and faith.
The church is open for prayer and personal reflection during the week between 10 and 12 on most Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Rev Ikani Vaitohi is also available at that time for one-on-one conversations.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY
For thousands of years Indigenous people have walked on this land. They have not sought to own that land, but to care for it. Pilgrim UC acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation and is committed to God’s call for healing, justice and reconciliation in our land.
