Girls Embrace Ministry desires for seventh through twelfth grade girls to understand that they are precious in God's sight and He desires to shape and mold them to be used for His kingdom.  Girls Embrace Ministry teaches and trains teenage girls and their leaders in evangelism, discipleship and missions.   Click here for more information about GEM Embrace Embrace Women’s Missions and Ministries is a ministry of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina that prayerfully cares for and develops a lifestyle of evangelism, discipleship and missions in women.

Women's Prison Project Each Christmas women from all across North Carolina provide gifts to fill approximately 1,500 red boxes to be given to women inmates at NC Correctional Center for Women.  For many of these women our gift is all they receive.  As one woman told us, "Your gift has been the only gift I receive at Christmas.  It's the highlight of my Christmas." Each year we collect one item, usually something like deodorant, chapstick, candy, etc.    If you would like to help with this project, we need the item (will be decided later) and/or money at the association office by the second Wednesday in October.    If you have any questions call Annette Heatherly at 828-290-2584
