Why Gems
At GEMS Girls’ Clubs, we know it’s not easy being a girl today. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping all girls know they’re LOVED by Jesus and by a community of women dedicated to mentoring them. We believe when a girl understands she is LOVED and experiences that love week after week in the community of a GEMS Club, her life is forever changed. And she will then go change her community for Christ. When you start a GEMS Club in your church or Christian organization, you’re not just impacting girls. You’re impacting your entire community.
When you start a GEMS Club, you’re not alone. We’re here for you every step of the way. From easy-to-use curriculum, to relevant training, our goal is to serve you as you serve your girls.

Awareness Level
Girls in grades 1-3 have the amazing ability to understand the simplicity and depth of God’s love for them. To help you show them how deep Jesus’ love is for them, GEMS has developed a variety of resources.
