Pioneer Clubs
Dear parents and kids - welcome to Pioneer Clubs!
Pioneer Clubs provides proven church-sponsored midweek club programs for today's kids, preschool through middle school. Pioneer Clubs have a long tradition at Trinity. We have met here for over thirty years. Many of our teachers went through the program themselves.
Each of these programs helps boys and girls build healthy relationships with caring Christian adults, peers and most importantly, Jesus Christ. Thousands of churches across North America count on Pioneer Clubs materials to be Christ-centered, Bible-based, kid-focused and flexible?helping them create a children's ministry that transforms lives.
A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
In today?s rapidly changing and fast-paced society, children often feel insecure and vulnerable. Pioneer Clubs gives children a place to belong and to experience God?s love through caring adult leaders.
A Proven Method of Transforming Lives
Pioneer Clubs? Bible exploration and memory work, tied to life application skills
and fun activities, allow God?s Word to reach deep into the heart of a child. This
combination plants the seeds of lifelong spiritual transformation.
Noncompetitive Programming
In a time when many children?s programs focus on competition and winning, the Pioneer Clubs noncompetitive awards program enables all children to develop a positive self-image and a sense of worth as a child of God. Bible awards and activity awards are built into the curriculum. The emphasis in doing the awards is self-improvement, accomplished through teamwork rather than by outdoing others.
A Place to Build Friendships
Relationship-building between club members and by leaders with club members is a hallmark of the Pioneer Clubs' program. God created people to be interdependent, especially within a community of faith. In club, adults and children who might otherwise never get to know one another form lasting bonds.
