IN EVERY CHURCH A CLUB

On August 2nd, the Tampa Spanish Pathfinder Club (TSPC) had the privilege of bringing a special Pathfinder Sabbath program to our sister church in North Tampa.  They haven’t had an active Pathfinder Club in their church for many years, so we were there to encourage them and to share with them the blessing of having a Pathfinder Club. God-willing, they will be starting a Pathfinder Club soon, so please keep North Tampa Spanish in your prayers. We want to thank Pastor Simo and his leaders for the invitation and for understanding the importance of having a club.

About Us

The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored ministry open to all families of children in grades 1-4. Our mission is to support parents and caregivers in leading and encouraging their children in a growing, joyful love relationship with Jesus Christ.
The first few years of a child’s life sets the stage for their future.  For parents/families of pre-K through fourth grade children, our Adventurer Clubs provide a safe place to encourage the development of the necessary social and interpersonal skills they need, in an environment that promotes Christian values and responsibilities.
Families will learn a variety of topics together, from character building, nature, hobbies, safety, and much more. This club also has parenting tips and resources through the family network and is designed to help you be the best parent/caregiver you can be as you partner with your child and other families to grow your kids to be the best they can be. Most clubs meet twice a month.
