What is AB GIRLS?
AB GIRLS is a ministry focused upon meeting the spiritual needs of girls as they move through the many changes their lives will take as they grow into adulthood. Why just girls?


Why just girls?
We all know that girls and boys are different and, at times, have very different needs. We also know that sometimes youth are less inclined to speak up in mixed crowds, and often hold back from sharing their true feelings around boys and men. AB GIRLS ministry is designed to complement the Christian Education and youth ministry programs in a congregation. AB GIRLS is a way for girls to have the opportunity to deal with tough questions honestly, to build close relationships with each other, and to build a program that will meet their particular needs as growing women of faith.


How is AB GIRLS organized?
Your ministry with girls may be organized any way that fits your situation best. AB Women’s Ministries produces resources for girls in three age ranges:
     Girls of Joy (ages 8-11, grades 3-5); 
     Girls of Faith (ages 12-14, grades 6-8); and 
     Young Women of Hope (ages 15-18, grades 9-12).
Most resources can be easily adapted for a variety of age ranges.
