EMPOWERING
GIRLS THROUGH A CHRIST-CENTERED
PROGRAM
AHG is Proud to Come Alongside Calvary Chapel Churches Nationwide in Raising Godly Girls.
American Heritage Girls (AHG) is a Christ-centered character and leadership development program for girls ages 5 to 18. Using scout-type methods as a form of ministry, AHG is discipling girls for Christ in a setting full of faith, service, and fun!
Today's girls are surrounded by a faith-filled culture less often in their everyday lives. American Heritage Girls is a space where girls can grow in faith while learning new skills, experiencing outdoor adventure, and becoming the women of integrity God created them to be.
Learn more about how American Heritage Girls can come alongside your congregation to meet your Calvary Chapel church ministry goals. This volunteer-led ministry will serve not only girls and their families in your church, but those in your community who are seeking a place to belong.

“AHG provides another avenue for the church to engage in the Great Commission of evangelizing and discipleship. It also provides an opportunity for the women of the church to carry out Paul’s command in Titus 2:3-5 to teach the younger how to become Godly women. AHG has given an opportunity to those outside our church to become acquainted with, and even become part of, our church family. The relationship between our AHG Troop and our church has become a vital ministry partnership, each supporting the other in various community and mission projects.”

AHG Program
American Heritage Girls provides Christ-centered programming tailored to the age and ability of each child. The Program consists of six key components known as the AHG Program Emphases. A girl who completes the AHG Program will be a Christ-following servant leader who is honoring, relational, anchored in Christ, and competent: a woman of integrity.
MISSION
Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country.
VISION
American Heritage Girls is the premier national character development organization for young women that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement.
OATH
I promise to love God, cherish my family, honor my country, and serve in my community.
A Few Reasons Your Church will Love AHG
Rooted in Biblical Truths
From camping to robotics, sewing to cake decorating, girls learn life skills and discover passions while developing a Biblical worldview. By learning and shaping their identity in Christ, each girl becomes a great disciple of Jesus and go on to evangelize.
Volunteer Led Programming
It takes just five talented, compassionate, and creative men and women from your Calvary Chapel church faith community to start an AHG Troop. Together they will serve as a Troop Board and under your church's direction, raise up women of integrity.
Opportunity for Growth
The AHG Program encourages churches to take the role of shepherding Troop Leadership, girls, and families through encouragement, spiritual guidance, and prayer. This influential role provides churches the opportunity to connect with Troop families that might be seeking a home church; thus, allowing them to point these families towards a path that will lead them to a restorative relationship with God.
Youth Protection
Protecting the girls God entrusted to the AHG Ministry is of upmost importance. Troops are protected by Liability Insurance Coverage, all Adult Members must complete a background check before participating, and volunteers must complete AHG's Youth Protection Training.

the AHG Benefits to
Charter Organizations
Arguably the most impactful force in the well-being of an AHG Troop is the Charter Organization. Every Troop is owned by a Charter Organization, which is typically a church, school, or similarly-aligned Christian organization. Without the support of their Charter Organization, an AHG Troop would not exist. When the Charter Organization and the Charter Representative invest in their Troop, the AHG Ministry can have an incredible impact on the outreach of the organization.

Spiritual Alignment Matters.
American Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered leadership and character development ministry. The Statement of Faith applies to all American Heritage Girls’ Charter Organizations and Adult Members to ensure that both AHG and the Troop are aligned in fulfilling the shared Mission of raising women of integrity.
AHG is making a Kingdom impact throughout the nation, every day.
