The Puritans were a reformed protestant sect in Europe that wanted to reform the church of England, but not separate. When they realized that corruption of the church was permanent, they set out with an "errand into the wilderness" to build a model Christian society based on The Bible, which would serve as a beacon for the rest of the world. They hoped the Church of England would see their success and follow their example.
The "errand into the wilderness" refers to John Winthrop's speech in 1630 to describe the Puritan settlers' journey to the New World. Winthrop emphasized their mission to establish a "city upon a hill," a model society based on Puritan ideals, as they sought religious freedom and the opportunity to create a perfect community in the wilderness.
