From April 25 to 26, more than 3,000 Pathfinders, supporters, and volunteers packed the arena in historic Battle Creek, Michigan, for a weekend of worship, Bible knowledge testing, and celebration. And on Sabbath, April 26, 185 teams—the second highest number ever—gathered in person from across North America and beyond. Four teams joined virtually.

Worship was at the heart of PBE, beginning with a Friday evening vespers and culminating in a Sabbath afternoon worship after testing. Messages from Earl Baldwin Jr., Lake Region Conference Youth director, and Rahel Wells, Andrews University Old Testament professor, focused on the blessings of being rooted in God and His Word.

Additionally, a record nine exhibitors participated in this year's PBE. These included the NAD Office of Volunteer Ministries, Adventist Camps, and Ministerial Association, as well as the Lake Union Herald and five Adventist universities: Andrews University, Walla Walla University, Southwestern Adventist University, Southern Adventist University, and AdventHealth University. These exhibits connected Pathfinders and their families with future opportunities for education, service, and ministry.
