Jesus' Promise #1—Matthew 16:18

  • Jesus: "I will My Church."

Jesus' Promise #2—Matthew 16:18

  • Jesus: "I have  My Church."

Jesus' Promise #3—Ephesians 5:25

  • Jesus: "I will My Church."
     
  • During ages of spiritual darkness the church of God has been as a city set on a hill. From age to age, through successive generations, the pure doctrines of heaven have been unfolding within its borders. Enfeebled and defective as it may appear, the church is the one object upon which God bestows in a special sense His regard. It is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to reveal His power to transform hearts." (Acts of the Apostles 12)
     
  • "The church may  as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place" (Last Day Events 180).

Beds for Berrien

On April 16, Pioneer is planning to provide beds for children in our community who don’t have any. This project, Beds for Berrien, needs your help! There are 3 main ways to assist: First, and most critical right now, you can donate. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to provide 40 beds to children who need a better sleeping situation in their homes. Your donations to the Pioneer Outreach fund will help us reach that goal! You can check our fundraising progress at pmchurch.org/beds. Second, you can help us get organized on our distribution day, April 16. This is the area that we have the most help with right now. Third, we really need more delivery teams to transport the beds and bedding to homes, and assemble the bed frames for the families. If you’d like to donate to the Pioneer Outreach fund, volunteer, and/or find more information, text BEDS to 269-281-2345 or visit pmchurch.org/beds.

Something In Common Sabbath School

Something In Common Sabbath School presents God As He Longs For You To See Him:

How would you describe God!? Awesome? All Powerful? Creator? While we cannot know Him exhaustively, we can know Him truly. And God longs for you to see Him as He truly is. This fascinating series studies seven attributes of God.
As you begin to see God for who He really is and what His true desires for your life are, it will change the way you pray, the way you live, and the way you think about the world around you.
