December Golden Eagle Pathfinder Ministry Outreach

Our Pathfinders collected and distributed parish able and nonperishable food items to provide two families with Holiday baskets for this Christmas season. Below are pictures of our Pathfinder’s sorting the items and packaging them for delivery. Included also is a picture of one of the families from this event.

Pathfinders is a Christian based organization providing outreach and skills-oriented activities for children in the developmental ages of 10 to 15 years of age. 

The goal of the Golden Eagle Pathfinder Ministry of Abney Chapel SDA Church is to provide wholesome activities and challenges to enable young people to develop spiritually, physically, socially and morally, and that they are collaterally prepared for life’s most challenging situations.

The Pathfinder Ministry teaches Christian principles through two foundational mechanisms: The Pathfinder Pledge and The Pathfinder Law. 
Thousands of Pathfinders each year learn and choose to abide by the requirements of the Pathfinder Pledge and Law for the sole purpose of growing closer to their Creator and to others, regardless of their particular life demographic.

Additionally, The Pathfinders provide opportunities for the youth to earn honors in skills ranging in basic household crafts, nature study, astronomy and much, much more - over 450 different Honors.

They then apply many of these skills during community service events and outdoor camping adventures which prepare them to survive in the wilderness; both the man-made and the natural.
It is our constant hope, and has been our experience, that lives are changed as a result of involvement with the Pathfinder Ministry.  We invite all youth between the ages of 10 to 15 to take part in the Pathfinder experience.  We’re confident that it will be and uplifting and rewarding experience.
