What, Why & How

Girls Ministries is about intentional outreach and Christian discipleship for girls.

Why just for girls? Gender specific ministry is crucial for developing girls into women of God. Girls are faced with so much confusion and temptation in their daily lives, but in a setting catered to girls they can connect with each other and an older mentor who can invest in them through Bible study and activities and help them grow in their faith and discover the answers to the questions they face.

Girls Ministry Clubs are an achievement-based program that utilizes badges and awards as a tool to disciple girls. However, if the traditional model for using the curriculum is not working in your church, the materials can be used simply as a discipleship tool.
Start with the clubs that match your girls' ages.  If you need to, just combine the clubs to fit the needs of your church girls.  Here are a coulple ideas to get you started:

  • 2 groups: All Impact groups combined (age 3-5th grade) and TGM groups (6th-12th grade) combined
  • 3 groups:  Rainbows/Daisies (age 3-K), Prims/Stars (2nd-5 grade), and TGM (6th-12th grade)
  • 4 groups:  Rainbows/Daisies (age 3-K), Prims (2nd-3rd grade), Stars (3rd-5th grade) and TGM
These are just a few suggestions. The possibilities are up to your imagination and the needs of your church.  It is so flexible!  Feel free to contact me if you would like to talk about what might work for your church.
