Central California Conference 2025 Pathfinder Fair

What an unforgettable weekend we had at the 2025 Pathfinder Fair, held May 2–4 at Fresno Adventist Academy! Pathfinders from across the Central California Conference came together to celebrate, connect, and grow under the theme “Walking the Path God Has Set,” inspired by Isaiah 30:21:

"Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”

Our clubs showcased their skills in events like Bible Hunt, First Aid Relay, and Shelter Pitch, and proudly displayed crafts they’ve worked on throughout the year. Each project is a testament to the creativity, perseverance, and dedication of our youth.

This year, we were especially blessed to have a group of Adventurers join us for the first time! They brought their beautiful arts and crafts for display and joyfully participated in the parade, marching alongside the Pathfinders with pride and enthusiasm. It was a true joy to see the younger generation engaging so fully and being inspired by the spirit of the event.

Another exciting first this year was the debut performance of our very own drum corps, The Central Valley Golden Eagles! This was a historic moment for our Conference.

And of course, no Pathfinder Fair would be complete without amazing food! From mouthwatering pupusas and the famous Orosi burgers to refreshing boba and more, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

A heartfelt highlight of the weekend was honoring Helen and Albert Hill, our Area 1 Coordinators, for 40 and 39 years of faithful service to this ministry. We also shared a meaningful farewell with Alexis and Lee Catala, our Area 2 Coordinators, who are moving to Michigan after 28 years of devoted leadership in Central California. You will be dearly missed and always appreciated.

The Pathfinder Fair is the culmination of our Pathfinder year, a time to reflect on growth, celebrate milestones, and give glory to God for His faithful guidance every step of the way.

Let’s continue walking the path God has set together.
