What is Pioneer Club? Pioneer Clubs is a proven church-sponsored midweek club program for today’s kids, preschool through middle school. Each week this Christ-centered program integrates spiritual and personal development to help boys and girls build healthy relationships with caring Christian adults, peers, and most importantly, Christ. Thousands of churches choose Pioneer Clubs for its application-oriented inductive Bible study, Scripture memory, life-skills development, and emphasis on discipleship and outreach. Headquartered in Wheaton, IL, Pioneer Clubs has been meeting the changing needs of children with an unchanging message since 1939. 
 
The mission of Pioneer Club at Hopewell is to unite families in the community by providing a scripture based program that encourages children to lead Christ – centered lives.  Children ages 3 through 6th grade are invited to participate in this program that encourages them to live Christ-centered lives through activities, games, singing, Bible study and more.  Pioneer Clubs starts each September and runs through the school year until mid-April, but you may join at any time during the year.  We meet on Wednesday nights from 6pm to 7:30pm.
 
Come check us out...and bring a friend!!  It's never too late to join!
