This year, teams were tested on their biblical knowledge of the books of Joshua and Judges from the New King James Bible, along with the Seventh-day Adventist Bible commentary.
- The big picture: The Pathfinder Bible Experience is the official North American Division Pathfinder Bible study program. Some affectionately call the program Bible Bowl. Each year, teams of six club members study a book of the Bible (alternating Old Testament and New Testament), memorizing large portions of God’s word.
- How it works: There are four levels of competition—area, conference, union, and division finale. Teams answering correctly within 90% of the top score qualified for the final level of testing, which is the North American Division.
- What’s next: The Lake Union Pathfinder Bible Experience testing is scheduled for March 30, 2024, at the Berrien Springs Village Church. Top scorers from the union go on to division-level testing, slated for April 19-20 in Greeley, Colorado.
