The church’s greatest resource is our children. Therefore, it is imperative that as a church we meet the challenge to provide a program for our children during their early, formative years. We want right habits, thoughts, motives, dispositions, and attitudes to be established. The Wise Man wrote, “Bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Prov. 22:6, NIV). This is more than a cliché-it is a scientific formula. This is the purpose for developing the Adventurer Club.
The Adventurer program is designed by the church to support parents in assisting children with the challenging task of developing fully as followers of Christ in today’s world.

Philosophy of the Adventurer Club
The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist church-sponsored ministry open to all children ages 6-9, in which the church, home and school join together to help children grow joyfully in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man.
The Adventurer Club is offered to assist parents in making the development of their child richer and more meaningful.
What is the Adventurer curriculum designed to accomplish?
Children will, at their own level, commit their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ.
Children will gain a positive attitude toward the benefits, joys, and responsibilities of living a Christian life.
Children will acquire the habits, skills and knowledge needed to live for Jesus today. Parents and other primary caregivers will become more confident and effective in their role as co-labourers.
Church will accept its responsibility in assisting to care for its youth by providing and implementing a planned curriculum of religious education for this age level.
