Our Mission is to Live and Proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior

GEMS- Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior

                                       
                                                                GEMS- Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior
"What does the Lord require of you?
....to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God."- Micah 6:8
 
 
GEMS- is a very special club-a place to belong and build lasting
relationships with God and with other girls!
 
The girls (1st-6th grades) participate in organized activities through which friendships
naturally begin to develop. Awareness Level activities teach:
 
1. Who God is.
2. How to share with others.
3. Stories from the Bible.
4. How to help others.
5. How to be considerate.
6. Earning badges to help discover talents and
develop new skills.
7. Learning to worship with regular opportunities for
singing and creative movement.
8. Discovering more about who God is through His
Word and His world.
9. Participating in meaningful service opportunities.
 
Girls will learn that God is their Creator,
their Heavenly Father, and their Friend forever. They discover how important
and special it is to know Him.
 
For over fifty years, God has blessed this ministry, causing it to grow and reach
more and more girls for Christ.
 
In 2006, an expanded vision for how God would use GEMS to accomplish
His Kingdom purposes became clear. God was calling GEMS to adopt a
global perspective-to have eyes that see the pain, suffering, and broken-
heartedness in the world-and to join Him in His work around the world.
If we are willing to turn our focus ourselves onto other people-
people who are in great need of our help and the hope that we have
in Jesus Christ- He will empower us to become difference makers
and justice walkers.
