About us...

Welcome to Girls’ Brigade (GB) Ministries.

GB Ministries is part of a global Christian movement with a great history and a passionate vision for this generation and the future - it’s committed to seeing lives and communities transformed and enriched as individuals seek, serve and follow Jesus Christ.

Its work is expressed in various ways, but all with the same aim – that children and young people discover what it means to experience and share ‘life to the full’, an expression Jesus used to explain what happens in our lives as we follow Him.

GB Ministries is committed to supporting and developing the various aspects of its ministry and to launching new initiatives in mission.

You’ll come into contact with GB Ministries through:

A membership organisation that specialises in working with churches to provide fun and inspiring local groups (known as companies) where girls and young women can belong, achieve and discover Jesus! GB companies are primarily for girls and young women, aged four to 18, and meet most weeks of the year in safe and friendly environments.

Focused on inspiring and equipping churches to pioneer outreach and discipleship clubs and activities for boys and girls aged seven to 11. Arise runs children’s events, trains leaders and produces resources that help children discover Jesus.

A place to shop for resources and gifts! The profits made are used to develop more mission activities among children and young people.

• Consultation and support for churches looking to develop relevant outreach in the community
• Sustainable activity that encourages achievement - using GB’s programme material, plus Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and GB’s own Queen’s Award scheme
• Extended school clubs that help churches connect with children in their community
• Resources – great tools for youth leaders to use as they seek to share Christian faith with children and young people
• Events – from local camps to residential youth festivals in Essex, Yorkshire and Hertfordshire
• Mission opportunities where young people can get involved in leading local holiday clubs, children’s work at Christian events in the UK or on GB’s summer mission team in Europe.

‘Jesus offers hope, fulfilment and challenge that’s as relevant to this generation as it ever was,’ says Ruth Gilson, Director of GB Ministries. ‘So through all our different ways of working to engage with this generation… GB Ministries has so much to offer!'
