the vision of gems girls’ clubs
The vision of GEMS is to see girls around the world actively and enthusiastically expressing love for God and others—girls equipped, motivated, and passionately engaged in living out their faith.
The vision of the hub
The HUB by GEMS is a welcoming, safe, and fun place for girls (toddlers through teens) and their grown-ups to belong and be loved.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4
Hello friend!
My name is Cindy Bultema, and I have the privilege of serving as Executive Director of GEMS. For 65 years strong, GEMS Girls’ Clubs has provided a place for girls to experience a mentoring relationship, form meaningful friendships with peers, and hear God’s Truth. And this is where The HUB at GEMS has come to fruition.
It is my joy and privilege to extend a warm hug to each one of you who has found your way to our website. Whether you're a mom with a new toddler, a mentor with a moody teen navigating life's challenges, or a grown-up seeking a supportive community, we want you to know that you are welcome here. Our doors are wide open for you, friend, and we can't wait to get to know you better. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if there's anything we can do to make your experience even more meaningful. May God's love and grace fill your hearts, and may you find, as we have, that The HUB is a place where you truly belong and are loved by God.
