Today’s rapidly changing society can make
children feel insecure. God uses their family and friends to help them
develop a sense of belonging, and Club is a place to make friends. Club
also provides opportunities for girls and boys to develop skills,
experience successes and failures, make choices based on biblical
principles, and also to have fun.
PURPOSE:
The mission of Pioneer Clubs
is to help children put Jesus Christ in every aspect of their lives by
recognizing Him as Savior and Lord and developing a lifestyle based on
biblical values.
GOALS:
To enable children to enter into a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ and to know His Word; To enable children to
form healthy relationships; To enable children to grow as whole persons;
To enable adult leaders and helpers to understand children and help them
develop.
BELIEFS: Jesus Christ, the son of God, died and rose
again to provide redemption for sinners; The Bible is the inspired,
authoritative Word of God and is our rule for faith and practice; God has
created His people as whole beings called to live a biblical lifestyle;
and God has ordained the Church to evangelize and to nurture through
discipleship.
Pioneer Clubs further
believes that God created each person with individuality, uniqueness,
dignity, and potential; Children develop a sense a personal identity and
character by comparing and contrasting themselves with both male and
female adults; Children learn Christian behaviors and biblical values as
modeled by their adult leaders; Values are formed when children choose
among alternatives and consider the consequences of each alternative.
SPONSORSHIP:
Calvary Baptist Church is delighted to
sponsor this Bible based weekly program.
About
Pioneer Girls
Girls in
Preschool through the 7th Grade meet on Tuesdays, from 4:00pm to
5:30pm. Since our Club has increased
so much in numbers, we have had to make some changes of scheduling during
the weekly meetings. This year upon arrival, the girls will be given a
small snack. We will then hold a short "Opening" for the whole Club, where
we will take attendance, state our Club Verse, Club Motto, and sing our
Club Song. The Scooters and Voyagers will then separate from the
Pathfinders and Trailblazers. Participation in earning Activity Badges and
playing games will be done in these groupings. Then Exploration Time,
where Bible Badges are earned as the Handbook work is completed, will be
held in the age appropriate classes. We will continue to all come
together for our Closing Circle. Awards will be presented at the end of
the year in a very special program to honor the girls for all their hard
work. Throughout the year, many special events are planned.
The classes for the
year will be as follows:
SCOOTERS - Preschool & Kindergarten
VOYAGERS - 1st & 2nd Grades
PATHFINDERS - 3rd & 4th Grades
TRAILBLAZERS - 5tth, 6th & 7th Grades
Where and When do the club meetings
take place?
Pioneer Girls club meetings are scheduled during the school
year on Tuesdays at 4:00 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.
We would be so
happy to welcome your daughter into Pioneer Girls.
