Our Story

Along about 2014, while working in the corporate world, regular discussions began with a co-worker that stoked the desire toward knowing biblical truths more intimately.

So many moments were spent diving into theology, most of which I came to realize were, sadly, not what I had grown up hearing—or being taught—in church.

Fast forward several years, a budding library and continued personal study was afoot. The great divines of the past, and present, grew into loving familiarity.

The depths of God’s word had been exposed. The truths preached from the Prophets through the Apostles were made manifest in such magnificence.

In God’s Providence, the levee had broken; the flood gates had opened. I already knew that the Lord Jesus died for me, but I came to know far better why and what for!

Who, when they know the fullness of God’s grace, can help but proclaim Him forevermore?

What is A Pilgrim’s Coffer?

People probably think of coffers as something akin to a personal money deposit box when they hear it these days; this isn’t too far from it’s origins. A coffer in earlier history was often a box or trunk of sorts that families used to lock and keep their valuables/family heirlooms in for safekeeping. When the ‘pilgrims’ and Puritans came to America, they, too, brought these locking coffers for storage—of which there still exist some early examples.
