The primary purpose of the Adventist Encounter Curriculum is for all students at every grade level to have a personal, deep, abiding relationship with God and to respond to His invitation to live out of the overflow of this relationship — to understand the truths of the Bible, to respond to Christ’s invitation to live in a lifelong vibrant relationship with Him, and be passionate about the salvation of others. 

The Adventist Encounter Curriculum is intentional about exploring big ideas and tackling the tough questions related to learning the Bible. The ultimate goal of the program is spiritual transformation, leading the children to a closer relationship with Christ and a desire to spend eternity with Him.

In response to the Great Commission, our goal is discipleship. In John 14:6 Jesus shares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (NIV) As Bible teachers, we are called to encourage our students to come to Jesus, our only sure Truth in an unstable, changing world. When we daily surrender our lives, everything changes. Growing in Christ and following Him is our focus in the Bible classroom, where transformation (rather than just information) is our goal (nadeducation.org).
