What Are Girls Clubs?
Girls Clubs are a ministry of the Church of God Department
of Women’s Ministries and provide exciting learning
experiences that promote discipleship, relationship skills,
and spiritual development for girls ages 3 through grade 12.
Girls participate in merit badge studies according to age
level, and can earn badges representing the fruit of their
labor.
Each club exists for the following reasons:
To encourage growth in Christ
To develop personal character, abilities, and skills
To discover ways to serve others
To provide Christian fellowship and recreation
To win peers for Christ

How To Charter A Girls Club
In order for a group to become chartered, a request form
must be completed and sent to the International Women’s
Ministries Department in Cleveland, Tennessee. The cost of
the charter is a one-time fee of $6.00 per club. With that
purchase, the club is eligible to receive membership cards
at no charge upon request.
In addition, each club will receive a charter certificate,
which may be framed and displayed in the club meeting site.
To obtain a charter form, call the State Office or download
the form from the bottom of the page.
