Welcoming All Seasons

Hans Miranda Chavez and Dave Nowack

Did you know that in the winter, Pioneer Memorial Church is heated by steam from the Andrews University power plant? This steam heats very hot water (around 130°F to 140°F), which circulates throughout the building to warm the air. In the summer, the church is cooled by chilled water from the AU power plant, which cools cold water (about 40°F) that then cools the air to keep us comfortable.

Pioneer Operating Budget

My mother was a great cook. Growing up in a big family of eight, my mother cooked meals using the largest pots. I was amazed by how she could create big meals from a very small pantry. I called my mom the miracle chef. I was often intrigued by how Jesus performed the miracle of the five loaves and two fish.
