Pilgrim Holiness Church of NY, Inc. Est. 1963
The New York Pilgrims trace their organizational roots back to 1897, when first organized as the Pentecostal Rescue Mission of Binghamton, New York. For a time this growing group of churches shared organizational ties with larger denominational groups, but joined the Pilgrim Holiness Church in 1922. In 1963 the New York District seceded from the Pilgrim Holiness Church and once more became an independent organization, and now the Conference has more than 50 churches.

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.”

“Baseball is the religion that worships the obvious and gives thanks that things are exactly as they seem.

—Thomas Boswell, U.S. sports journalist. “The Church of Baseball,” Baseball: An Illustrated History, ed. Geoffrey C. Ward, Knopf (1994)
