Purpose: Pioneer Church is seeking a Spirit-led, Gospel-saturated, Biblically qualified man to be our worship pastor.

We are a 6-year-old church plant that just finalized an adoption of an older congregation and assumed their campus. We are a multi-generational, elder-led, Gospel saturated, relevant body of believers. Our Vision is to be a gathering of Kingdom People, with Kingdom Passions, who fulfill Jesus' Kingdom Purpose.
