We bring Hope and Healing through Reconciliation
“Whoever believes in Me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John 7:38
We all have bondages, burdens, brokenness, baggage and bitterness that block the rivers of living water from flowing in our lives.
When we’re dammed up inside nothing works well, individually or corporately. We’re blocked from experiencing true reconciliation with God, ourselves, in our relationships, in our communities, and in the world.
The work of the Pilgrim Center is to come alongside and help remove those blockages so the rivers of living water can freely flow in us and through us.
Our Ministry of Reconciliation in Action
Healing & Reconciliation Retreat
During this 3-day experience, a trained facilitation team gently and intentionally leads us into the transforming power of reconciliation.
We tell our stories, we’re re-introduced to God’s love, and our hope is miraculously restored through the free gift Jesus gives to the broken-hearted.
Heart of Reconciliation Retreat
The Heart of Reconciliation Retreat provides an opportunity to experience more briefly, yet still deeply, the transforming power of reconciliation in a full or half-day format.
Through engaging talks, testimonies, and extended times of reflection we are lead into our own hearts and the heart of Jesus to discover new pathways to hope and healing.
Way of Reconciliation Course
Our 6-session interactive group study explores the fundamental concepts of reconciliation that lead to Shalom.
The study covers topics including the progression of reconciliation, the pathway of forgiveness, principles of peacemaking, and the process of becoming a change agent.
Becoming a Reconciler Course
Our 6-session interactive group study explores the practical steps and skills to becoming a reconciler.
The study covers topics including understanding the concept of culture, cultural transformation, action and advocacy, and the role of being an ambassador of reconciliation.
Living Reconciliation Evening
These two hour evenings are highly experiential and interactive, introducing participants to various aspects of reconciliation. Our skilled presenters are motivated to activate and integrate the ministry of reconciliation into people’s daily lives and communities.
Practicing Reconciliation Forum
We believe reconciliation is more than a theoretical idea, it is an experiential reality. In order to grow together in this reality, we have established this forum in order to begin a dialogue about how we can practice reconciliation in our daily lives. Click the “Forum” tab on the website menu above for more information.

Preaching, Mentoring, & Mediation
Our Pilgrim Center President, and PCR team members, are available for preaching, teaching, and mentoring ministry to support churches and organizations in their peace and reconciliation efforts.
We partner with churches and organizations through mediation to help bring organic and organizational health and reconciliation in areas of conflict and relational breakdown.
Our Upcoming Events
Becoming a Reconciler Course
In a time where we have experienced intensified stress and isolation as well as increasing polarization in our communities, how can we experience true reconciliation?
This fall we will be exploring this question as a team from the Pilgrim Center for Reconciliation leads us through a 6-week journey on The Way of Reconciliation.
This interactive group study builds upon the fundamental concepts covered in the Way of Reconciliation. Topics covered include understanding the context of culture, the process of cultural transformation, proactive action and advocacy, and the role and responsibilities of being an ambassador of reconciliation.
Tuesdays, November 9th – December 14th
7:00 – 8:30 p.m. (CDT)
