 STATE - Island Navigator

neThis year Island Navigator will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a special ceremony to honor the long run of this ministry at the Molasses Key.  It is our hope that with God's leading, this program will continue for another 30+ years or until Jesus comes again.

It is our goal to help facilitate in navigating you to a better understanding of our Creator by using the nature that surrounds this island. Come and enjoy fellowship with one another and experience a spiritual closeness with the Lord. There will be camping fun and education of aquatic beauty in the Island Navigator.

Pathfinders planning on being a part of this program should have completed the beginners swimming requirement. Each club is expected to have part in four worship services (Friday night, Sabbath School, church services, and sundown vespers).
