Mission Statement
The national Missionettes Ministries is committed to:
- Providing effective discipleship tools and support to districts and local churches.
- Enabling leaders to accomplish the fivefold purpose of Missionettes through women mentoring girls.
- Believing God for a harvest of girls—fulfilling His perfect plan for their lives.
Most districts appoint or elect a district Missionettes coordinator. She works to develop Missionettes clubs in local churches. Each district is responsible to charter local clubs, provide training for sponsors, and offer activities to enhance the growth of Missionettes.
Most districts appoint or elect sectional Missionettes representatives. They serve as liaison between the district coordinator and the local church.
The local Missionettes program is directed by a coordinator and sponsors in cooperation with the overall ministries of the church.
History of Missionettes
Early in the 1950s, women began to see a need for a program to teach missions to young women and to prepare them for future involvement in Women’s Ministries. The national Women’s Ministries Department developed the Missionettes program in response to this need.
The first Missionettes club was officially chartered in January 1956. Since then, Missionettes clubs continue to be organized across the United States and in many foreign countries. Along the way, revisions have been made, such as age- and grade-level changes, additions, and modifications in the achievement programs. But the ultimate purpose of Missionettes—winning girls to Jesus Christ and teaching them to live victoriously—has never changed. 
Missionettes is a way to change the world one girl at a time!
