A Warm Welcome from
the Pastoral Desk
It is our joy to welcome you to Pioneer Seventh-day Adventist Church, the headquarters church of Babcock District. Whether you are a Babcock University student, a faculty member, a resident of Ilisan-Remo, or a first-time visitor, you are family here. Our prayer is that you encounter God's presence, grow in His Word, and find a community of believers who will walk with you on your faith journey.
As a university church, we are uniquely positioned to nurture both the academic and spiritual lives of our members. We are committed to Christ-centered worship, biblical preaching, compassionate service, and raising a generation of young people who love the Lord with all their hearts. We invite you to worship with us, serve alongside us, and become part of what God is doing here at Pioneer.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9

Fundamental Belief #23
Marriage and the Family
Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Jesus as a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving companionship. For the Christian a marriage commitment is to God as well as to the spouse, and should be entered into only between partners who share a common faith.
“Genesis 2:24”
