Jake Brown
Worship Leader + Youth Pastor

I’ve been passionate about music from a young age, beginning piano and vocals at seven. Since 2004, I’ve led worship from both bass and keys, with a strong focus on connecting with youth through music. After two decades of serving in youth worship events, I felt a clear calling in 2021 to pursue full-time worship leadership. Recently, I’ve also felt led to step into youth ministry, and I’m excited to serve in both areas at Pioneer Church.

Outside of ministry, I enjoy sports like volleyball, basketball, and pickleball, exploring nature, spending time with family, and working on creative building projects.

Lillie Edwards
Children's Ministry Administrator

My passion for children's ministry stems from the belief that the early years are crucial in building the foundation of a child's faith. It's our role to guide and support children, making it easier for them to encounter Jesus and understand His love. As Pioneer’s Children’s Ministry Director, I am dedicated to partnering with families, empowering volunteers, and creating programs that not only teach the Bible but also make church a place children eagerly anticipate each week.

I chose Pioneer because from the moment I first visited, I felt welcomed and accepted. The church's commitment to family and the next generation deeply resonated with me, especially as a mother of two. Pioneer’s genuine warmth and inclusivity have made it a place where I can grow in my faith and serve with passion.

Jubilee Siefka
Social Media Director

Hi, I’m Jubilee — a mom of two, and raising strong children who love and honor Jesus is my greatest calling. I’m passionate about building a community grounded in faith and fellowship, and I love sharing stories and events that bring people together and help us grow spiritually and relationally.

As Pioneer’s social media director, I’m dedicated to connecting with our members, celebrating life’s milestones, and promoting events that strengthen our bond as a faith community. Outside of that role, I also waitress at a local restaurant, which keeps life interesting and full!

When I do get a little free time, you’ll probably find me at the beach or out on the water, soaking up the sun and enjoying God’s creation.
