Pilgrim Place is the collective spirit of those called to careers in Christian service who wish to reside in a theologically stimulating, ecologically sensitive, personally active environment. Pilgrim Place is an ecumenical community where residents represent 16 denominations and collectively have served as Christian leaders throughout the world. They come to Pilgrim Place to continue on their life-long path of service and outreach while exploring new opportunities for personal growth and learning in a charming, Southern California town.

Pilgrim Place is defined in 320 different ways by the 320 residents who have created a home here. Since 1915 it has been a home to thousands of Christian leaders who have served as missionaries, teachers, ministers, denominational executives, and other religious professionals. Serving others is what Pilgrim residents have been called to do. It is what they did in their careers and it’s what they continue to do in “retirement.” This is why such a strong sense of community pervades the entire campus.
