The first church service was performed under a setting called Bush Arbor. The Bush Arbor was located near "Camp Jackson" base. During WWII the federal government needed to expand the military installations in SC, therefore, the land around Camp Jackson was acquired by the Federal government. The landowners were required to sell their property to the federal government and were relocated with the assistance of the Army Core of Engineers. Most of the land was privately owned including Pilgrim Baptist Church. The acquisition site consisted of several churches, cemeteries and schools both black and white. The original church had twelve (12) charter members.
In approximately 1940, Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church was relocated from the Shady Grove area of Richland County to Elise Grant Road. The church was relocated under the supervision of Chairman of the Deacon Board, Hosea Dunlap. Other church members included Mattie Roberts, Jacob Chavis, Dora Nixon, and Carrie Swinton who were responsible for the relocation of Mt. Pilgrim's cemetery at the present site.
