On March 7, 2026, at the conference-level Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE), 39 Southern New England Conference (SNEC) Pathfinder clubs gathered to test their Bible knowledge, this year from the book of Isaiah, chapters 1-33.  Eight SNEC clubs garnered enough points to move to the union level, and three clubs leveled up at the union PBE with enough points to participate in the North America Division level, held in Florida at Southeastern Conference's Camp Hawthorne on April 18.

“PBE is more than an event or a competition. It's an opportunity for our kids to study the word of God,” said Danny Velez, SNEC Youth & Club Ministries director.  “This is what's going to give us the foundation to remain faithful. I pray that our youth will come to know the Bible so well that it will be their answer to every temptation.”

PBE is an exciting and highly motivating way for young people from 10 to 15 years old to get to know the Bible in a positive social situation.  If you would like to be part of next year’s PBE, contact Pastor Danny Velez at dvelez@sneconline.org to find a participating Pathfinder club near you.  Don’t wait--practice and studying start early!
