GEMS helps churches and communities create meaningful, Christ-centered girls ministries where girls are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in faith and confidence.
Through mentoring relationships, engaging activities, and flexible resources, GEMS equips leaders to build a ministry that fits their setting and supports today’s girls.
Whether your group meets in a church, school, or community space, the heart of GEMS is the same: helping girls discover who they are in Christ and grow in confidence and belonging.
What does a GEMS club look like?
Each club looks a little different, but most include:
-
a team of caring women leaders
-
regular gatherings with girls
-
faith-centered conversations and activities
-
opportunities for girls to build confidence and friendships
-
flexible options that fit your schedule and setting
Some groups meet weekly. Others meet twice a month.
Some begin with just a few girls. Others start larger.
GEMS is designed to be adaptable, relational, and sustainable — whether you’re serving girls through a church-based or community-based club.
