Growing an Effective Girls Ministry from the Ground Up
Want to grow an effective girls ministry?
It doesn't have to be elaborate. It doesn't have to be expensive. It doesn't even have to be super time-consuming. It just has to be intentional.
Ministry isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor, of course. You can't borrow a girls ministry from someone else and expect it to work just as well in your context. You have to grow your own from the ground up!
Follow the four phases prescribed in this book--DREAM, BUILD, LEAD, IMPROVE--to grow a girls ministry designed to meet the specific needs of the girls in your own community in an ongoing, strategic, and systematic way that takes into consideration the unique challenges they face. Encourage girls to pursue a more intimate relationship with Jesus and healthier relationships with each other by providing a Gospel-driven, Bible-based, inclusive environment where all girls feel seen, safe, loved, and wanted.
You won't just be "doing ministry." You'll be doing very effective girls ministry, and it will show!

Statistics are telling us that this generation of teenagers is the loneliest, most anxious/depressed generation on record. This truth is unfortunately impacting our girls at even a greater impact than boys. If there has ever been a time to seriously consider developing a girls ministry in your church, it’s now. The good news is that Angela’s book on how to grow an effective girl’s ministry can help with that. This books serves as a blueprint for churches of every size to either start or reevaluate how you’re investing in the spiritual lives of girls. I highly recommend it.
