The Youth department empowers our young people through creative programming to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and become actively involved in ministry and in the life of local congregations.

Sunset Lake Camp provides and preserves a natural, Christian environment to foster recreation and community experiences. We connect each camper and visitor with Jesus Christ, ignite their active love for Him, and forge them into spiritual leaders who will live out loud for Christ and share the Good News. >Find out more at www.sunsetlake.org.

Pathfinders and Adventurers are worldwide organizations of young people sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Young people participate in grade-appropriate leadership training, community outreach and interactive training through recreational, artistic, nature, conservation, vocational and outreach areas with awards (honors) given for successful completion of coursework. >Discover more about Pathfinders.
