About.

​Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. -Jesus

Encounter Jesus | Embrace Community | Engage the World

Welcome to Pioneer Bible Church! 
We are a church family in Somerset, California committed to following Jesus together.
Whether you are exploring faith, looking for a church home, or simply curious, you are welcome here.
Our desire is simple: that every person would take their next step in a growing relationship with Jesus. 

Our vision

Encounter Jesus
We want people to know Jesus personally; we want people to truly encounter Him through His Word and through relationship with Him. 

Embrace Community
We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. We grow together as a family: serving, encouraging, and walking through life side by side.  

Engage the World
The hope of Jesus is not something we keep to ourselves. We are sent to share His love in our homes, our community, and beyond.

Our mission

Helping people take their next step in following Jesus. 
Jesus calls us to love God, love our neighbor, and make disciples of all nations. That is why we seek to help people encounter Jesus, embrace community, and engage the world.

Our values

Christ-Centered: Jesus is at the heart of everything we do. 
Community-Focused: We grow together as a family of faith.
Biblically Grounded: God's Word shapes our beliefs and actions. 
Servant-Hearted: We love others through humble service. 
Mission-Driven: We share the hope of Christ with the world. ​
