Pilgrim Uniting Church is architecturally significant as a beautiful example of 'Revival Gothic' architecture, which is quite rare in South Australia. The foundations of the tower to the right are eight feet wide because the original plans had included a tall spire which was never built. The church was built in 1867 and originally named Stow Congregational Church in memory of the Rev Thomas Quinton Stow who founded Congregationalism in this state.
Congregationalists believe their model of church governance fulfils the description of the early church and allows people the most direct relationship with God. In early days they were also known as "separatists" or "independents".
