BIG NEWS ABOUT ADVENTURERS!
During our quinquennium advisory on global youth ministry, the advisory members carried a vote to officially add the Little Lamb and Eager Beaver levels to the Adventurers ministry, bringing the total number of levels to six. Streamlining the ministry in this way means the official ages for the Adventurer ministry are now 4-9 years old. Having six levels also required changing the previous Adventurer logo, since it incorporated within it the respective logos for four Adventurer classes. We will soon be pleased to release to the public the image files of the new logo, a more in-depth explanation as to the reasons behind the changes and what they mean for the local church. Please follow our social media accounts to receive notification when the new resources being created by our department are available to share worldwide.
