The Kettering Adventurer Club is a family-oriented ministry designed for children in Pre-K through 4th grade and their parents, focused on growing kids in faith, character, and service.  

‍

Our goal is to create a pathway to Jesus for kids and families.  Through hands-on learning, nature exploration, Bible-based lessons, and family participation, the Adventurer Club helps children discover more about Jesus, the world He created, and how to live & love like Him each day. The club meets monthly on the 2nd Saturday of each month during the school year, with gatherings typically on Sabbath afternoons. Special activities include camping, service projects, and Adventurer/Pathfinder Sabbath. This ministry is important because it helps children build strong spiritual foundations while deepening family bonds and connecting with a Christ-centered community. At Kettering, we believe in walking alongside kids as they take their first steps in discipleship and Christian service.
