Starting a GEMS Club

We're glad you're here!

Every church is different, so every GEMS club looks a little different too. Some clubs center their year around our Core Bible Curriculum. Others emphasize Discovery Path, GEMS Outdoors, or service opportunities. Most use a combination of resources to create a ministry that reflects their church’s unique gifts while helping girls grow in Christ.

Options

You don’t have to create your own program—GEMS provides everything you need to lead with confidence. Each element is designed to work together or stand alone, depending on your club.

Whether you prefer a structured format or something more flexible, GEMS gives you options.

What Does It Cost?

GEMS uses a simplified annual membership model based on the number of girls in your club.

We work to keep GEMS affordable for churches of all sizes, and many clubs find the cost comparable to other children’s ministry programs.

If you’d like specific pricing for your context, we’d be happy to walk you through it.
