At the annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania held on October 5, 2024, it was announced that the minimum age to apply to serve at Bethel or on theocratic construction projects has been lowered from 19 to 18 years of age. Also, the minimum age to apply to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers has been lowered from 23 to 21 years of age.

These exciting adjustments are effective immediately. They open up expanded opportunities for qualified young brothers and sisters to do more in Jehovah’s service.
