Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE)

Pathfinder Bible Experience

The Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) is the official North American Division Pathfinder Bible study programme and was officially adopted by the Trans-European Division in 2019. Each year, teams of six club members study books of the Bible (alternating Old Testament and New Testament), learning large portions of God’s word and participating in various levels of testing.

What is PBE ?

The simple concept is a quiz-based Bible study programme for children aged 10 to 15.  Originating in North America, PBE is facilitated through Pathfinder clubs.  It was embraced by the British Union Conference (BUC) and then introduced to other Pathfinders in the Trans-European Division.
