What is GEMS?
Welcome to GEMS Girl’s Club, a relationship building, club program created especially for girls! GEMS Clubs are offered in local churches and other Christian organizations all across the US and Canada.
The name GEMS stands for Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior.
Girls in first through sixth grade are eligible for membership.
In club, many fun and exciting things happen:
-Making new friends and being part of a caring small group
-Getting to know...really know Jesus
-Enjoy dynamic singing, creative movement, signing, and dance
-Develop important life skills through badge activities
-Learn how to apply the Bible to your life
-Make creative and fun crafts
-Participate in service projects that make a difference in other’s lives
-Find answers to challenges that face girls today
What ages of girls can join a GEMS Girl’s Club?
There are two different club levels:
Awareness: 1st-3rd grades
Discovery: 4th-6th grades
Each level is designed to meet the spiritual, social, physical and emotional needs of girls in these developmental stages! Girls learn how to apply the lessons of the Bible to their own lives and discover answers for the challenges facing them today.
