Purpose: This group was formed to meet one of the objectives of the Women's Ministry of Tabernacle. It is a Girls to Women Mentoring Program established to help guide the young ladies of the church (ages 8-18) in their transition from girls into mature, well rounded, spiritually grounded women.

The four focus areas of enhanced growth are Health and Safety, Family Life Skills, Etiquette and Social Skills, and Spiritual Growth. The Girls to Women Mentoring Committee and the parents of the young ladies help facilitate regular programs and activities that will provide experience/instruction in the focus areas. The girls actively participate in the decision making process .
