NAD Adventurer Ministries Mission Statement

The North American Division Adventurer program serves an intercultural community of children in grades 1-4 and their parents and caregivers through a holistic ministry. The purpose of the program is to support parents and caregivers in leading and encouraging their children in a growing joyful love relationship with Jesus Christ. It offers instructional curriculum, family enrichment, supplementary resources, and volunteer training from within the Seventh-day Adventist philosophy. The Adventurer program should work to fulfill the gospel commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and depends on the support of a congregation strong in mission and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE ADVENTURER PROGRAM

The Adventurer program was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as the child's primary teachers and evangelizers. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and to further the child's development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. Through the Adventurer Program, the church, home, and school can work together with the parent to develop a mature, happy child.

EAGER BEAVER PROGRAM

Welcome to the Eager Beaver program! This program is designed for kindergarten-age boys and girls. The Eager Beaver program and its curriculum are separate from the Adventurer program. In fact, the Eager Beaver program is different from both the Pathfinder and Adventurer programs primarily because it involves a parent-child partnership, while the Adventurer and especially the Pathfinder programs are club organizations. Ideally, parents and their children will do the Eager Beaver activities together at home, but the program can also be done with a group of children.
