GIRLS MINISTRIES Girls Ministries has a legacy of godly women coming alongside girls, guiding them on a path to becoming mature and godly women. Our goal is simple: To see every girl moving toward a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, and to realize her importance and potential in the kingdom of God.
WHY GENDER SPECIFIC? Research shows girls learn more quickly and deeply when they are taught by a role model. Girls need a real-life example. When a girl understands what it means to be a godly woman, she aspires to the design that God intended. Gender-specific ministry has many benefits, but the greatest of these is for a girl to feel safe and secure in her discovery of who God intends her to be.
GIRLS CLUBS ARE MADE FOR * Midweek * Sunday School or small group * After school * One-on-one mentoring * Home school co-op * Outreach, and more

DEAR FRIEND, Girls today are faced with challenges unlike any generation before. Developing healthy friendships, being confident in their identity, and understanding their purpose are all critical aspects of their life. We are confident that if every girl today is led and encouraged in developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, she will be able to grow in each of these areas of her life. Through Girls Ministries, it is our desire to provide quality resources to assist the local church as they minister to girls today. Many of you may be familiar with various curriculum options available through Girls Ministries, but there is so much more! Through devotional resources and event planning, among other things, it is our prayer that your ministry to girls will be the best it can be. We invite you to take a fresh look at Girls Ministries today! There is something for EVERY GIRL!
Blessings to you, your ngm team
