FAQ

The Pioneers Conference is more revival than evangelical. But the conference format is more design to expose participants to various ministry opportunities, particularly in missions and church planting. Additionally, workshop topics will be offered taught by instructors who have expertise in various ministry fields.

Our keynote message will always be presented in both Mandarin and English. Cantonese interpretation can be offered upon request. The workshop topics will not be interpreted, but may be presented in 2 languages. Since the same set of workshop topics are presented on two different days, if the speaker can present the message in two languages, we will typically ask the speaker to do so. English will be one of the languages. The other will either be Mandarin or Cantonese...depending on the speaker.

Each year's conference programs and events are planned and implemented entirely by the volunteers from the local churches in the SWCBA region. The ministry is sponsored by the Southwest Chinese Baptist Association, with support from the Chinese Baptist Fellowship of the United States and Canada, North American Mission Board, International Mission Board, Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, and the Texas Baptist Convention.

The programs in this ministry is NOT limited to Baptist churches. We welcome everyone to participate.

The conference itself is designed primarily for Christians. But programs and workshops are available for the seekers who are interested to gain a better understanding of the Christian faith.

In order to fully experience the fellowship with other brothers and sisters from other churches during the conference, we strongly recommend staying on site throughout the conference event.

Unfortunately, since this is an all-inclusive, per-person package with the camp site, we cannot offer any discounts for partial participation since we are responsible for the cost of the whole duration for each individual. If you can only attend part of the conference, you will still be responsible for the cost (per person) of the whole conference

Pets are NOT allowed on the camp site. Sorry!

Alcoholic beverages are NOT allowed on the camp site.

Wi-fi is available in certain areas of the camp site.
