Leaders will find a host of helpful supplementary resources available in the Pioneer Clubs catalog. In a recent Pioneer Clubs survey of parents, we found that both churched and unchurched parents value the experience their children have in club. The program provides an opportunity for children to have fun, learn new skills, build relationships, and ultimately, learn to make Christ Lord in every aspect of life. Parents appreciate knowing that their children are learning biblical values and making friends in a safe, caring environment under the watchful supervision of Christian adult role models. Children develop a sense of 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. Learning is most effective when children actively participate in meaningful learning experiences. Children have unique and individual learning styles. Children are motivated by a desire for achievement, success, and self-improvement. With maturity, young people may also wish to serve God and help others.
