GEM is composed of two age groups, the 5th & 6th Grade girls are called "Jewels for Jesus." The 7th thru 12th Grade girls are called "Daughters of the King."  

GEM is made up of a group of young ladies and Christian women leaders of all ages. This team is united in the focus and support of pre-teen and teenage girls in the area of character, self worth, friendship, purity, discernment & spiritual growth.
The Purpose of GEM
is to support & build upon existing classes & ministries currently offered by FBC for this age group of girls. Our focus is relaying Christ truths on both the moral & social issues that are most relevant and that girls are facing today. Our ultimate goal is to enrich the lives of teens and pre-teen girls so that they might have an eternal impact for Christ on future generations to come.
