Continuing on – 45 years of ministry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through God’s faithful provision, supported by ministry friends, Pilgrim Institute continues to equip American Christians to be instruments of healing in our nation. We are truly grateful for each one God has called to walk with us in our 45th<\/sup> year of ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1979 for the 
Restoration of American Christian Education and the 
Preservation of America’s Providential History<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our founders, including Mrs. Ruth Smith<\/a>, witnessed the need to re-educate the American Christian in his responsibility to be governed by the principles of the Scriptures in all areas of his life, including the civil sphere, and to restore an understanding of local self government.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For several generations, many American Christians have been unaware of the distinctive, historic, Biblical principles which produced American liberty. As these foundational principles were forgotten or ignored, our nation has drifted further and further away from its original foundation into the practice of socialism.

Pilgrim Institute addresses this need through resources and training which equip individuals to act in their own sphere of influence and their local communities, to restore the ideas and principles which promote individual, religious, economic, political, and civil liberty.

The Pilgrim Institute training program <\/a>and resource materials <\/a>present these principles as they are revealed in our nation’s history and reflected in our form of government. The principles are documented historically and Biblically, and related governmentally. Practical application is made for teaching these principles in the home, church, and school setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLearning America\u2019s Christian history changed my family\u2019s life. The sacrificial character of those who gave their all for our freedom, calls me to a higher level of responsibility. Our nation\u2019s challenges are great, only surpassed by God\u2018s supreme will to heal and restore.

Thanks to the support of ministry friends, Pilgrim Institute continues to share valuable teaching and resources for home and classroom educators, families, and Christian leaders. These valuable tools enable others to testify to the Biblical, governmental principles and Providential history which achieved liberty in our nation. Living out these truths is vital for our future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
