A United Methodist Event for Youth and Their Adult Leaders

The 31st Year of NCC Pilgrimage

Produced by The NC Conference of The United Methodist Church

Pilgrimage has been creating a space for thousands of United Methodist youth (6th – 12th grades) and their mentors to gather for over 30 years. Pilgrimage is a life-changing weekend event filled with amazing artists, thought provoking speakers, and inspiring youth leadership – all bearing witness to the transforming love of Christ. This weekend is for students and adult student leaders looking for a weekend worship experience that calls everyone to a new or stronger faith in Jesus, challenging everyone to share God’s love in word and action.

Youth in the 6th-12th grades and their adult leaders will explore the 2024 theme: God In Unexpected Places: While In Exile
