The Loyal Pioneers traces its origin at Forrest Burdette back to 1952, when it was called the Wesley Pioneers, and later merged with the Loyal Service class and became the Loyal Pioneers. Today, the class welcomes anyone seeking a Sunday School class made up of mature Bible students of all ages.

The Loyal Pioneers engages in an ongoing critical study of the Scriptures, looking at the historical context, translation, transmission, and contemporary interpretation of the Word of God. The Pioneers use a quarterly Adult Bible Studies curriculum which presents stimulating lessons that explore the biblical message and how to apply it to daily life. The class moves from a focus on the Word to reflection on personal, family, church, and community concerns.

Over the years members of the class have found lifelong friends and they are always a source for prayer, visitation, and concern for each other in times of need.

Fellowship opportunities of the class include an annual summer picnic and the class

is always well represented in most church activities.
