PIONEERS

The Pioneer class meets in room 104 on the lower level of the church. Our open-style classroom, with tables and chairs forming a square, offers opportunities for sharing and exchanging ideas. We enjoy class discussion and respect all opinions.

The Pioneers participate in the teacher-rotation system provided by the Adult Education Department, and so we usually study a different topic every month. Bible studies, prayer, and music are some of our favorite topics. Before each lesson, our prayer list is reviewed and revised.

The average class attendance is 25, and most Pioneers are in the fifties or sixties. We have monthly socials which vary from potluck dinners, to brunches or an occasional group gathering at a local restaurant. We feel this interaction promotes a caring attitude for members and guests.

If you are looking for a small, friendly class to expand your Christian activities, please visit the Pioneers. We love visitors and welcome them warmly.
