This program is designed for girls in grades 1–5. It is a chance for girls to get to know one another; enjoy games, crafts, and snacks; and learn about the love of Jesus. We hope that this girls' club will create a fun, safe, and encouraging space for us to support girls in our community and remind them how much they are loved.

If you are a guardian or caregiver of a child ranging from birth to 5 years old, you can join us in the gym at Streams for this free, weekly, 90-minute program, where we talk about child development, early reading strategies, and positive discipline. The curriculum for the Play & Learn groups is aligned with Michigan Department of Education’s expectations for kindergarten readiness, which will prepare your child for success.
