Pioneers Core Values
What drives us?
The mission of Pioneers is to mobilize teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church-planting movements in partnership with local churches. But what does that look like?
The core values of Pioneers reflect the passions, practices and personality of its members and drive us to plant churches in the world’s most challenging environments.

Passion for God
The Great Commandment is our motive for the Great Commission. We want to live our lives fully surrendered to Him so that all nations may know that He alone is God.
Unreached peoples
Pioneers focuses on those with the least opportunity to hear and understand the gospel.
Church planting movements
We want to see new believers united in fellowship with other believers, forming churches that plant churches—until all peoples are reached.
Ethos of Grace
We value people. We understand that each person bears the image of God. Therefore we endeavor to cultivate an atmosphere of mutual acceptance and respect in all our relationships. We also encourage each one to attain his or her full potential in Christ.
Local Church
Pioneers partners with sending churches to plant new communities of Christians. We also work alongside local, indigenous fellowships wherever possible.
Team Focus
Teams that are both task- and member-focused are the core of Pioneers. This is crucial since many of the world’s remaining unreached peoples are in difficult and isolated pockets of the world.
Innovation and Flexibility
Reaching the world’s remaining unreached peoples requires creativity and a sensitivity to the unique calling, vision and needs of each missionary.
