goals
Following ICGB 2010, when GB International agreed a new Vision Statement, GB Europe identified the following four goals to help them further the vision of ‘Girls’ lives transformed; God’s world enriched’ :
- To Communicate Effectively
- To Inspire Discipleship
- To Empower Emerging Leaders
- To Explore Cultural Relevance
activities:
Girls' Brigade provides the church with a fun and welcoming way in which to connect with girls and young women in their local community:
Activity groups for girls and young women.
GB 'companies' are fun, safe, stretching places where girls can really be themselves and have a great time meeting friends, getting involved in fun activities, developing new skills, serving their community and discovering Christian faith.
Leadership training
GB has a wealth of experience in working with children and young people, and in training leaders in how to be relevant, safe and effective in outreach, evangelism and nurture.
Events
Events for children and young people are happening all the time in GB! From locally planned fun days, praise parties and residential holidays to international events for young women - GB is full of action. For more details, please see the events page.
GB opportunities!
Through GB young women and leaders can get involved in a wide range of projects/events as leaders/helpers. These events are a great way to make a difference, develop skills, be stretched - and to make new friends too.
From helping lead a children's club at a Christian event to being involved in an International Mission opportunities with our FIZZ teams. For more details, please see the FIZZ page.
Welcome from IVP Vivienne Aitchison
Hello Everyone!
The European Fellowship is the part of the Girls’ Brigade family made up of England and Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Romania and most recently in Kosova. The Fellowship has some 62.000 members and is working in over 12,000 companies. As you will see from our mission statement, the aim of the fellowship is to support and encourage our member countries, helping them to accomplish the world wide aim of our organisation, helping girls and young people to meet with Jesus.
I have been privileged to lead the fellowship since April 2006 and am continually amazed at all that is happening around GB Europe:
- National Boards creating structures and constitutions able to meet the changing world of the 21st century.
- Work groups developing modern programmes and planning events which meet the needs of the young women living in a changing and developing culture
- Faithful leaders providing secure environments and building relationships that are lasting and valued.
- Young people who are passionate in their faith and responsive to Christ’s call to follow him.
- Christian women seeking to bring the message of God’s love to the unchurched young people in this corner of God’s world.
It is a privilege to work with all these people! Part of the purpose of the Fellowship is to encourage and support our leaders and each year we hold a conference to help us to do just that. If you ever feel you need some space for yourself, if you could do with a word of encouragement, if you would you benefit from having time with like minded people to meet with God and listen to Him…… then don’t miss our conference, it is especially for you. Application forms can be found on the events
page.
Christian love and prayers
