About Missionettes
Missionettes Girls Clubs is a program for winning girls to Jesus Christ through love and acceptance. Missionettes provides an environment of support and accountability while helping girls to develop their gifts and abilities. In addition, girls build lifelong relationships with mentors who encourage girls to be spiritual leaders.
The Fivefold Purpose of Missionettes
- To win girls to Jesus Christ through love and acceptance
- To teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded us--developing girls spiritually and mentally
- To provide encouragement, support, and accountability through lasting Christian relationships
- To provide an environment for girls to develop their gifts and abilities
- To acquaint them with the Great Commission of Jesus Christ our Lord
Missionettes Code
"Whatsoever things are true,
Whatsoever things are honest,
Whatsoever things are just,
Whatsoever things are pure,
Whatsoever things are lovely,
Whatsoever things are of good report:
If there be any virtue,
And if there be any praise,
Think on these things."
-Philippians 4:8
How Missionettes Began
Early in the 1950s, women began to see a need for a program to teach missions to young women and to prepare them for future involvement in Women's Ministries. The national Women's Ministries Department developed the Missionettes program in response to this need.
The first Missionettes club was officially chartered in January 1956. Since then, Missionettes clubs continue to be organized across the United States and in many foreign countries. Along the way, revisions have been made, such as age- and grade-level changes, additions, and modifications in the achievement programs. But the ultimate purpose of Missionettes--winning girls to Jesus Christ and teaching them to live victoriously--has never changed. For more information, see A Brief History of Missionettes.
