Pioneer Evangelical Church

Due to Covid-19 Gathering Restrictions we will only be hosting online services via this website and our Facebook Page. Live at 10:30 Sundays. Recordings viewable afterward. Thank you for you understanding 

We are opening public services this Sunday, June 7, 10:30 am with masks, social distance seating, Communion, and fellowship time outside afterwards. Drive by and visit at 11:15 if you wish. A children's song and activity sheets will be available, as we can't have Children's Church as we did. Facebook Live will continue as always for those choosing to stay home at this time. We'll continue this Midweek online Bible Study in place of Wed 10 am at church. See you Sunday, either Live or Facebook Live! Pastor Steve
