GEMS Girls' Clubs is all about—well—girls! Girls are active, imaginative, and unique. They are passionate! And GEMS offers them the perfect place to learn and grow as they discover who God created them to be. Clubs are offered in local churches and Christian organizations throughout the world, and our mission is to bring girls everywhere into a living, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ. To do that, we inspire and train teams of women to mentor the next generation. GEMS was founded on the principles defined in Titus 2, and we want to grow women closer to God and closer to each other as we equip them to show girls how to live God-honoring lives. At club, girls in first through eighth grade will: Develop a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ Foster a relationship with their leader (counselor) Make new friends and share in a caring small group Learn how to apply the Bible to their lives Find answers to challenges they face every day Learn what it means to be an activist for Christ Participate in service projects that make a difference in other’s lives Cultivate important life skills through badge activities Enjoy dynamic singing and creative movement in a large group setting Make meaningful crafts that encourage others
