What is Cadeting?

Is where boys discover who God is and how He works in their lives and in the world. They are challenged to claim God’s promises and commit their lives to His service.

Cadeting focuses on spiritual growth in all areas of life; mental, physical, emotional, social and devotional.

The counselors are mature Christian men, many of whom were Cadets when they were younger. They are dedicated to making Jesus real to the boys. The boys are encouraged through devotions, outdoor activities, and projects which earn them badges when completed.

The New Life Church Cadet Club is part of a larger organization. The Cadet Corps was founded in 1952. Presently there are more than 675 clubs throughout North America, Australia and New Zealand.

The Calvinist Cadets Corps is based upon Luke 2:52: “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men.”
