Master Guide Refresher

Master Guide Refresher: Renew. Reconnect. Recommit.

The Master Guide Refresher is a vital tool for experienced leaders navigating transitions in youth ministry within the North American Division (NAD) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Whether you’ve relocated from another conference, returned to service after a break, or recently arrived from another world division, this document helps you reconnect with North American Division standards, policies, and spiritual expectations.

Designed as a flexible, continuing education resource—not a mandate—this refresher equips Master Guides to serve with excellence, accountability, and Christ-centered leadership across a wide range of youth ministry contexts. From Pathfinder and Adventurer Club involvement to Sabbath School and community outreach, leaders are guided through current expectations in risk management, local church engagement, and conference collaboration.

This is more than a checklist—it’s a recommitment to the mission, values, and professionalism that Master Guides embody. Through thoughtful reflection, practical action steps, and leadership alignment, you will renew your calling and deepen your impact on the next generation.

Developed by the North American Division Youth Ministries Department, this resource strengthens the bridge between seasoned leaders and the dynamic realities of ministry today—empowering Master Guides to lead with vision, purpose, and a servant’s heart.
