Pilgrim Holiness Church

Pilgrim Holiness Church

Pilgrim Holiness Church is a religious denomination associated with the holiness movement that split from the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1897. It was first organized in Cincinnati, Ohio with Martin Wells Knapp (a Methodist) and Seth C. Rees (a Quaker) as the founders and later became the Pilgrim Holiness Church that merged with the Wesleyan Methodists in 1968 to formulate the Wesleyan Church.

Today, a group of Pilgrim Holiness churches still exist from the secession of the merger in 1968. However, this group of people are not associated with the Wesleyan Church today but align themselves with the Conservative Holiness Movement.
