February 6, 2025At the Feb. 1, 2025 area testing, our conferences fielded more than 60 teams:
Pathfinders advance through four levels of competition—Area, Conference, Union, and the Division finale. The Union finals will be hosted at Berrien Springs Village Church on March 29, with the North American Division finals scheduled to take place at Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek on April 25-26.
PBE is more than just memorization; it fosters meditation on Scripture and real-life application. Participants are encouraged to reflect on biblical teachings and apply them in their daily lives at home, school and church. The program aims to not only strengthen personal spiritual growth but also equip young people to lead Bible studies and share their faith with others.
Leaders emphasize that this initiative has the potential to transform lives. “PBE is a wonderful opportunity for Pathfinders to go beyond memorization and embrace the deeper meanings within Scripture,” said Lake Union Youth Director Ron Whitehead. “By studying, reflecting and by application, this offers our young people a foundation for lifelong spiritual growth. I am so proud of all our participants!”
