The Club Ministry Training Program is an important program within the Seventh-day Adventist Church that focuses on producing leaders for youth and children’s ministries. The course’s goal is to prepare participants to mentor and inspire the next generation of students via spiritual growth, character development, and leadership development.

The training event established in participants a sense of community and teamwork, enabling them to develop stronger leadership skills, better administrative practices, and a greater commitment to spiritual guidance. The curriculum stressed the importance of spiritual leadership and ensured that leaders could assist young people in their faith journeys while also supporting Pathfinder ministries.
