Pioneer Core

Exploring the theology behind Pioneer's core values

Pioneer CORE is a modular programme for leaders, emerging leaders and those aspiring to leadership in Pioneer churches. It’s about keeping us grounded together in our four Pioneer core values. There are four modules, each around one of these values:

Module 1:
Relational

May 2026

Module 2:
Missional

November 2026

Module 3:
Charismatic

May 2025

Module 2:
Kingdom Orientated

November 2025

Pioneer CORE is designed to give you greater understanding and confidence so that you can be sure that you are building on good foundations.

It’s a great way of connecting with others from across the network as well as exploring some key biblical and theological values for your own leadership. It is an interactive blend of biblical and theological teaching and practical equipping.

Each module runs over two consecutive days (Friday and Saturday) in either May or November. Learning takes place through a blend of theological teaching, practical inspiration and group discussion.

The modules can be completed in any order.

“I found Pioneer CORE educational, challenging and great fun – it has really strengthened our commitment to Pioneer and helped us understand again what makes us distinctive as a Pioneer Church in Burton. To unpack our relational value from a theological perspective has validated so much of our culture at TCC.”
