Pilgrim Rest also has a scholarship program in place. The Partners in Education ministry and fellowshipping and providing dinner for college students every first Sunday are programs that are also in place at Pilgrim Rest to give back to the community, thanks to the leadership of Pastor Walter Ellis.
Last but not least, Pastor Ellis has taken us to the highest heights with his dynamic, holy ghost-filled sermons each Sunday. Presently there are approximately 7500 members on roll, with approximately half of them active members of the church.
