Pathfinder Club
Pathfinder Objectives
The Reformers Pathfinder's club of Mt. Pisgah is a church-centered spiritual and recreational program and is designed for both boys and girls, grades 5 through 10. The program seeks to help our children to learn to love their Creator in the beauty of holiness in these last days. We offer adventure, challenge and group activities that produce team spirit and loyalty to God and His church.
One of the Pathfinder clubs’ basic purposes is to fulfill the Elijah message of Malachi in which the “hearts of the parents are turned toward their children and the hearts of the children are turned to their parents.” As parents and church members work, worship and play together with the Pathfinders, the so-called generation gap disappears in a bond of common experience. Children learn best by example; the whole Pathfinder philosophy is built on this idea. It is important, then, that spiritually committed, dedicated leaders of high principles be chosen to work with the Pathfinders.
Mission Statement
“The North American Division Pathfinder Ministries is an organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, dedicated to meeting the social, physical, mental, and spiritual developmental needs of junior and teen youth by challenging the Pathfinder to experience a personal relationship with Christ, having a sense of achievement and responsibility, and developing respect for God’s creation including his fellowman.”
Goals
Pathfinder Ministries seeks to meet the Pathfinder’s present and unfolding needs, to the end that we bring them to self-fulfillment and maturity in Christian faith, characterized by their decision to:
– Accept Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and Lord
– Reflect internalized Christian values through mature decision-making and behavior
– Exhibit the righteousness, true holiness, and fullness of the stature of Christ
– Demonstrate leadership skills, enabled and empowered to become full partners in active, selfless service supporting the mission of the church
