CADETS

Living for Jesus (Grades 1-2, Jr. and 3-8)

2025 / 2026 Theme Verse:

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”

— 1 Corinthians 16: 13-14

  • Badge Work

    At Cadets, each grade spends time working on projects and completing badges.

  • Bible Study

    Cadets is all about providing time for Bible study and lessons. This happens in large group and small groups.

  • Derby Night

    Something each cadet looks forward to… the annual Cadet Derby Night! This is a church wide event, celebrating the Cadets hard work.

The 2025-2026 Stand Firm theme, drawn from Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, speaks to all of us: boys, counselors, and families. Life is full of distractions and challenges, but God’s call to His people has not changed. We are called to be alert. To stand strong. To live with bold faith – and to do it all in love.

The goal of the Cadet program is to provide boys with programming, structure, and materials that are uniquely designed to help them grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. Please pray with us as we help boys learn what it means to embody the Cadet motto: "Living for Jesus."
