ADVENTURER

ADVENTURER CLUB CHARTER APPLICATION

PHILOSOPHY OF THE ADVENTURER MINISTRY

The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored ministry to children aged 6 to 9 years old. There are also the Little Lamb and Eager Beaver segments for children aged 4 and 5, respectively. Around the world we have nearly 700,000 children enrolled in the Adventurer ministry. This ministry was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as a child's primary teachers and evangelizers. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and further the child's development in spiritual, physical, mental and social areas. In this way the church, home and school can work together with the parent to develop a mature, happy child. The church's greatest resource is our children; therefore, it is imperative that as a church we meet the challenge to provide a ministry for our children during their early, formative years. We want right habits, thoughts, motives, dispositions, and attitudes to be established. The Wise Man wrote, "Bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6 This is more than a cliché - it is a Bible principle which assures parents that the lessons learnt in childhood will last a lifetime. Following the Lord will however, depend on the child's choices. The Adventurer ministry assists parents in guiding children to Christ. Your Commitment to Adventurer Ministry We, the undersigned, have read, understand, and are in full agreement with the above Philosophy of the Adventurer Ministry and agree to support our club through those means with which the Lord has blessed this church, including finances, staff volunteers, securing a place to meet, transportation on outings, and other such needs as may arise in the fulfillment of this ministry, and to assist and support the work of the Adventurer Ministry in this conference and around the world.
