Pathfinders

May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace.

Psalm 144:12

Ministry Leader : Shawn White

Pathfinder clubs serve young people in grades 5-12.

Currently, there are more than 2 million Pathfinders worldwide. Pathfinder clubs are sponsored by Seventh-day Adventist Churches but any young person who promises to abide by the Pathfinder Pledge and Law is welcome to join regardless of their church affiliation.

Vision

The whole philosophy of pathfindering is built on the premise that “children learn best by example, rather than precept.” As they see leaders and parents model spiritual and social values, they too will aspire to develop high moral principles, loving and caring attitudes, and the determination to excel in all their various pursuits.

Mission

The Pathfinder mission is to “lead members into a growing, redemptive relationship with God, build them into responsible, mature individuals, and involve them in active, selfless service.”

(North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists Pathfinder Staff Manual)
