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

How do I get started?
29
Contact your district Girls Ministries Director
1.

for more information on starting clubs in
your area. Contact information can be found on
our Web site under the Girls Ministries Home
dropdown menu click on District Coordinators
httpngm.ag.org/about/district/
Also, feel free to browse our Web site for
resources ideas!
30
Recruit leaders!
2.
Well help you train them. Clubs can function on
as many or as few leaders as you have, so dont
get discouraged if you dont have as many leaders
as you want. You can set up stations in your room
have the girls rotate or let girls from one
club do an activity in one half of the room while
girls from another club work on a Bible lesson in
the other half of the room.
31
3.
Pick a day, set a time, get rolling!
Corresponding with adult midweek services can
work well or perhaps an after-school program
would work best. A good thing to consider when
planning a Teen Girl club is choosing a day
time that does not compete with youth events.

girls thrive in their
relationships with our
amazing God
