Stated purpose
-
Pilgrims Covenant Church (PCC) is an independent, reformed Baptist church which is fundamental in doctrine and biblical in government. Our concern is for sound doctrine and practice. We are also dedicated to sharing the gospel out in the world and are involved in supporting foreign missionary works such as a ministry in Nepal which includes evangelism, church planting, and an orphanage.
We are committed to preaching and contending for the doctrines the Apostles taught and which were at the heart of the Protestant Reformation, beginning with justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. We reject neo-evangelicalism, ecumenism, charismaticism, antinomianism, and Romanism.

Perceived enemies
-
LGBTQ+ community, but: "We do not hate homosexuals - in truth, we desire to see them come to Christ and be saved - nor do we condone violence against anyone or the vile language and signs used by the likes of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church."
"state school science curriculum is rooted and grounded in the God-mocking, blasphemous lie of evolution"
Abortionists
"We love the souls of the Roman Catholic people; but we abhor popery, Romish rituals, and the Roman church's many ungodly, unbiblical doctrines"

Outsider views of the group
-
"we have been beset upon by good numbers of students throwing fruit and, in the winter, snowballs; wielding sticks—yes, swinging good-sized, sturdy sticks"
-
"Is it the SPLC that is the hate group, so hateful of Christians who simply believe the word of God as to put a little church such as PCC - a church of men, women, and yes, children - on its list of "hate groups" along with such vile organizations as the KKK and Nazi groups . . . lumping a Christian church such as ours in with Nazis and white supremacists given that we abhor the ungodly, vile racist and anti-Semitic ideology and actions of such groups?"
-
Dehumanizing speech by group
-
"The homosexuals, the humanists, the fascists, the socialists, the communists, the atheists...the pro-aborts, pornographers, modernists, apostates of all kinds, and ...the devil himself want the children of Christian parents in the state school system."
"Romans 1:26 forbids sexual acts between two women, labeling "lesbianism" unnatural, saying that women who do those things "change" the natural for that which is "against nature." So much for the "born that way" argument."
-
"...take a vow to stay silent for the entire school day to protest supposed bigotry and violence against homosexual people. "
