Welcome To Pioneer Christian Fellowship!
Visiting a new church can feel overwhelming, but we want to make your experience at PCF as comfortable as possible. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect when you join us:
Service Times & Location
Our Sunday service begins at 10:00 AM.
303 RT 39 W.
Arcade, NY 14009
Arrival and Parking
We have reserved guest parking in the front center lot to ensure our guests have the best spots available. Handicap spaces are also available in the front center lot. If you need assistance parking your vehicle, please pull up to our front doors, and one of our Welcome Team volunteers will gladly assist you.
Greeting & Information
As you enter, you’ll be warmly greeted by a volunteer who will be holding the door for you. Stop by the Welcome Desk to pick up a bulletin with information about upcoming events and more about our church. First-time guests receive a free gift, so be sure to let our Welcome Desk attendant know it’s your first visit!
Children’s Programs
For families with children aged 0-11, we offer dedicated programs that start after worship and continue through the sermon. Please check in your children at the Welcome Desk to make the drop-off process smoother. You can also use the Church Center App to register your kids from your phone.
Worship & Seating
Feel free to sit anywhere in the Worship Center. A countdown will signal the start of the service. One of our pastors will welcome everyone and lead a prayer, followed by our worship band playing three to four Christ-centered and relevant songs. The lyrics will be displayed on screens, and everyone is encouraged to sing along. You’ll see some people clapping, raising their hands, or expressing praise in other biblical ways. Children are welcome to join in the worship.
Prayer, Announcements & PCF Kids
After worship, a leadership team member will lead us in prayer & offering followed by announcements by one of our pastors who will dismiss the kids to their respective rooms. The nursery is available throughout the entire service. PCF KIDS programs for ages 2-11 begin after prayer and announcements. Children will be dismissed to their groups downstairs:
- Ages 2-3
- Ages 4-6
- Ages 7-11
- Ages 4-6
On the first Sunday of each month, the 7-11 age group meets for the entire service, while the younger groups (2-3 and 4-6) will check in and out downstairs following announcements.
Sermon
After a brief countdown one of our pastors will deliver a biblical sermon with real-life application. Sermon points are displayed on the screens, and there’s a notes page included in the bulletin. You can also find our sermons on our website and wherever you listen to podcasts.
Post-Service Fellowship
Our service lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, similar to a movie. Afterward, coffee is available in the Welcome Center, providing a great opportunity for connection and relaxation. Parents, please remember to pick up your children.
