Steel City Pathfinders

Steel City Pathfinders is a youth club open to all young people between the ages of 10 and 18. If focuses on leadership training, building a personal relationship with God, and team building skills. We do many different types of events throughout the year but all events are aimed at helping the young person to grow into a physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally whole person.

This year we are focusing on life skills. In keeping with this the classes we are currently teaching are in the following areas:

-Food Canning and Preserving -Fire Safety
-Knitting -Camping skills 1, 2, and 3
-Small Engine Repair -Community Outreach
-Basic Carpentry -African Lore
-Baking -Dogs

Our youth are allows meeting on the first Saturday afternoon of each month to read and discuss the book “Steps to Christ”. We are going through the steps in Salvation and Conversion. On completing this book each student will then need to share what they have learned with someone else.

Our club is also preparing for the International Camporee in Oshkosh, WI in August of 2009. We will be meeting with over 30,000 other pathfinders to spend a week of fun, games and spiritual growth.

To help raise money for our trip we are making items for an auction the first of June. We will be auctioning all the items we have made in our life skills classes. We are also accepting donations of hand crafted items for our auction.

In conjunction with the camporee we are collecting as many Bibles as possible to take with us. The Bibles are sent to English speaking countries where they are given to those who do not have Bibles. We ask that for each Bible donated a dollar be given to help with the cost of shipping. There is a box in the lobby of the church where Bibles can be placed. Please place the dollar inside the front cover.

If you would like to join our club registration is in August of each year. Our next registration will be August 23, 2009 at 10:00am at the church. We welcome all who would like to join. The club dues are $5.00 a month per person.
