“How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your word.” (Psalm 119:9)
The middle and high school years are filled with decisions about which way to go and what voices to follow. God has not left us without direction. He has given us His Word to show us the pathway.
Through the study of Scripture, relationships with faithful leaders and other students, and time spent growing together, Pathways exists to encourage students to know God’s Word, trust what He has said, and follow His way in every area of life.
