Mission/Vision Statement:

Mission Statement

--------------------------------------------------------------

Pioneers mobilizes teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church planting movements in partnership with local churches.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Definitions:
A Team is a group of at least three units who are committed to each other and to a common task.

A church planting movement is a dynamic and self-perpetuating process of multiplying churches.

Unreached peoples are an ethnolinguistic people among whom there is no viable indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize their own people without outside (cross-cultural) assistance.

---------------------------------------------------------------

To fulfill this mission statement, PIONEERS will endeavor to:

Mobilize the international body of Christ.

Send short and long-term missionaries in partnership with local sending churches.

Utilize a team approach to ministry.

Target unreached people groups of greatest need and least opportunity.

Focus on cross-cultural evangelism, discipleship, and planting churches.

Use innovative means.

Work in close cooperation with others who share our evangelical position and purpose.

Doctrinal Statement:

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of Old and New Testaments, were originally given by God, divinely inspired, without error, infallible, and are entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.

WE BELIEVE in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, sinless life, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension and exaltation, mediatorial work, and personal, imminent, and visible return in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE that Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, were tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell; that their sin has passed to all people, who as a result are lost, are unable to save themselves from the wrath of God, and need to be saved.

WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God to those who repent and personally believe in Jesus Christ; that it is accomplished by God's grace through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers enabling them to live holy lives, and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ despite opposition from the world, the flesh, and Satan.

WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of all true believers, the universal Church, the Body of Christ.

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life with God, they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal condemnation separated from God.

WE BELIEVE that Christ commanded the Church to go into all the world and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching those who believe to obey all that Christ commanded.

The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest fields.
