AEC Teams Win Big at CU PBE

Allegheny East Conference’s Pathfinders have done it again! Seven teams from five clubs represented the conference in this year’s Columbia Union Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) competition. Out of 62 teams that competed, we are proud to share that five of our teams earned 1st place and will be advancing to the finals.

The 2026 North American Division Pathfinder Bible Experience will focus on Isaiah chapters 1–33, culminating in the Division Final on April 17–18 at Camp Hawthorne, Florida.

The clubs that will represent AEC in the 2026 NAD PBE Finale are as follows (in no particular order):

• Community SDAC of Englewood – Falcons Thrivin 5

• Genesis SDAC – Jaguars

• Muungano SDAC – Shining Lions Zion Redeemed

• Filipino-American Oxon Hill SDAC – Oxen Warriors

• Miracle City SDAC – Knights Team 1

We are incredibly proud of these young people who have committed themselves to studying God’s Word. Their preparation began long before the initial competition in January 2026, reflecting months of dedication, discipline, and teamwork.

We ask for continued prayers and blessings for these Pathfinders and the many adults who have mentored, supported, and encouraged them along the way. Regardless of the results on April 18, we know that heaven is already rejoicing for the victories that have been won.
